Hi Phil, TacT does resampling to 96K regardless of input. All internal DSP processing are done at 96K samples and 48-bit precision. It is actually worst to feed it 96K as the ASRC is not bypassable, so it'll resample 96K to 96K. Peter Lyngdorf has stated that resampling at the same frequency will cause artifacts. I can tell on my system that 96K input to my 2.2xp is not as good sounding as 44.1K or 48K. The best is actually to feed the TacT with 48K, as the ASRC can do a must easier job with integer multiple of upsampling. 44.1K and 48K are nearly identical sounding if you're like me having an Apogee Big Ben in the loop. Otherwise, 48K is tiny bit better sounding that 44.1K. -- Kuro ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kuro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69145 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
