Hi cliveb, More likely that I am missing something, instead of you! As I understood it, when an incoming signal to an upsampler or upsampling DAC is already 24-bit (like say a digitally attenuated signal from an SB3 S/PDIF output), there may be some amount of word length reduction done immediately prior to the upsampling and re-extension of the bit width by the upsampling algorithm or device. Outcome: Who knows! :) (I haven't noticed any audible result). -- NewBuyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NewBuyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7862 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38233 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
