Is the Tact hooked Digitally or Analog? If analog there is no correlation between it's A/D input sampling rate and TP D/A output rate. You're better off staying with the native recording data rate. If hooked digitally I would hope/expect tact properly handles 16/44.1 and I would let it do any internal conversion needed to cobevrt to it's internal data rates. Good processors maintain the source data rate (or exact multiples) all the way through. Resampling 44.1 to 48 is like trying to count in Hex with 10 fingers (it gets messy). Most of us use FLAC format. That is a native format supported by TP/SB. It saves space, allows tagging and is exactly the same as raw wave as far as audio goes. Also wave files have almost zero file structure checking. With FLAC and many other lossless formats if the file has been corrupted in anyway you'll know it and you can scan your whole library for integrity. With Wave files you don't. -- mswlogo Thinkpad XP SS > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF-COAX > Meridian 861V4 (Trifield, Room corrected, Upsampled) > DSP5500 Mains, DSP5500HC Center, DSP33 Rears ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35505 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
