The SB doesnt properly process 24/96 --- this is not a bug...this is just the way it works due to insufficient processing power. To resample properly, you must provide digital low-pass filtering above the new nyquist frequency -- the SB doesnt do any filtering -- just drops samples....so what you may be hearing are high frequency artifacts somehow effecting your system. These ultrasonic components are noise and should be removed form the signal. This is why it is always best to downsample outside and just feed it 24/48 native. -- jt25741 SB3->AR Masters Coax -> PS Audio DLIII -> Cardas Golden Reference XLR -> Sim Audio P5 -> Cardas Golden Reference XLR -> Sim Audio W5 -> Cardas Golden Reference Hi-Mid,PS Audio Xstream Plus Low-> Magnepan 3.6R ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jt25741's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8645 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34985 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
