OP is using a DAC which I presume is using optical connection and so Full Dynamic Range is on by default. IIRC Originally Chromecast always output 44.1Khz/16 bit on optical - there was an update which then enabled higher rates 96Khz etc. on the optical conenction so I presumed "Full Dynamic Range" means stream is passed through unmodified. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105557 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Can this possibly be? a certain movie clip springs to mind Few can forget the scene where Sally (played by Meg Ryan) shows Harry (Billy Crystal) over a café lunch that any woman can get a man to believe shes been sexually satisfied, even when she hasnt. So persuasive is Sallys performance that the elderly lady sitting at the next table points to Sally and tells the waitress: Ill have whatever she is having! wrote: > every thing is possible:p Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105557 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
