Yes, they will play files in 48 kHz as well as 44.1kHz, and perhaps 88.2 and 96kHz as well (I don't keep up) but the question is not if the devices can play the specific files, but rather if there is anything in them that should sound better. Long ago, Stereophile took a bunch of SACD and DVD-A releases, and did spectral analysis on them. Most of them had exactly the same signal as the RedBook audio versions, nothing over 20 kHz, even though the format could have signal up into 40Khz or above. As to why some software has features that do no good, well that is another topic, just use MS Word as an example, it has zillions of features and 99% of the users use less than 5% of them. The rest are there for various reasons. A DAC reporting RedBook at 24/88.2 makes sense, that is simple wider oversampling. Saying it is 96Khz may be real or may be marketing puff. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
