Look, any DAC that ONLY does 16/44 or 16/48 IS a museum piece. The world has moved on! Nothing wrong at all with your speakers/Amps - all fine pieces. CD Transports are dead technology, period. Anyway, the Touch (via SBS+SOX) does indeed downsample 192 to 96 or 176.4 to 88.2. If you want to get them down to 48, you'll have to do it yourself. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
