Let's avoid the topic of legality since that's a completely different, though related, subject. The real question is whether or not any recording, be it analog or digital, will benefit from sample rates higher than 88.2 or 96 kHz. Case in point, during a recent discussion on the Stereophile forum regarding the new Bryston BDP-1 "digital music player", a $2000 brick with less functionality than the $300 SB Touch, the BDP-1 was praised for it's ability to natively play 176.4 and 192 kHz files, something the Touch can do natively. By the way, I do agree that anything above 88.2 or 96 kHz is simply overkill and more of a "because it can" rather an issue of sound quality. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88056 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
