To 1) there is still this theoretical filterproblem that even in real-world isn´t. It is only a problem for many because it is there theoretical. Can you hear the different filters acting around 20kHz? To 2) i never listened to a NOS DAC and many seem to love it while others find even the best NOS DAC sounds horrible. The music it spits out without sinc filter is indeed horrible to measure and for sure will benefit of higher sampling frequencies most. Now this is a case to wonder, even when the output is technicaly speaking pretty less precise it still may be sounding fantastic to some. -- Wombat Transporter (modded) -> RG142 -> Avantgarde Acoustic based 500VA monoblocks -> Sommer SPK240 -> self-made speakers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wombat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4113 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93483
