Well the latest gimic in the industry is native, that is 16/44.1 is not oversampled. I am looking for the exact same solution for my upcoming Rega DAC since I am not that keen on analog filters in the near 20 k audio range. Yes it´s a high-end superb sounding machine at native CD but since it´s 192 and 96 khz capable I will be able to use the analog filter setting way up from the 20 khz range. So a server based up sampling to either 88,2 or 96 would be nice. -- brodeur ------------------------------------------------------------------------ brodeur's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82672
