I would love it for them to do so. Even 24/88.2 is a big improvement, if they do it for the whole chain. Remastering stuff recorded on an ADAT isn't going to get better with high/wide. I tend to believe it would make some economic sense, otherwise the music industry is dead. I don't think any of this means that the SB3 will benefit from a Big Ben type device. They make a lot of sense in a recording studio where you have many separate devices, say 3 o 4 ganged ADCs with 8 channels each. For playback, even of 5.1 or 7.1, its fairly easy to get all the channels in a single device, using an internal clock. Audiophiles can then look for a device with a good internal clock, rather than something expensive and external like a Big Ben. Unless you just like the look of the gear, which does appeal to some. _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
