Thanks for bringing this up and for investigating! johnas Wrote: > Have you contacted HD Tracks to confirm that they upsample in the > examples you have given? I'm not in the US and officially I'm not allowed to buy from HDtracks. (It is possible though with a PayPal workaround explained in this forum.) Maybe someone else could place an inquery? Honestly, I'm still positive that this is a misunderstanding. Maybe the subcontracting studio knows a way to preserve 24/96 while converting DSD to PCM. I mean hey, it's David Chesky from Chesky Records who owns and runs HDtracks! He sure knows how to deal with sampling rates. -- Quad ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quad's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74688
