Yes that is understood. But fellow forum member fairfax wanted *"Downsample 24/96 > 16/44 FLAC"* 24/44 or 48 would work but be truncated as you say .But they would "work". You get rounding errors, but would they be noticed in the context of NOS dac's ? Perfect would be downsampling with the correct dithering applied . The we always have the solution to make the process offline take copies and use whatever good software needed to do a good downsampling job and use these copies for the daily listening. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE for the rear ch.
