The info provided in the sw of the SBT recommends the addition of a hub, or a reduction in the sf to 44.1/48. Telling the SBT to act as though there is a hub just produces a lot of noise, either with the ground lift switch up or down. So it'll definitely need a USB hub, not a huge cost as the previous comments from Triode attest. I wonder how the addition of the Hub might affect SQ, but I'm not going down this path, as my coax can deliver 192, for the odd track that I actually have. Returning to my 176.4 "problem", has anyone managed to output this SF from the SBT to a DAC? It seems puzzling that the Arcam rDAC won't play them, despite the manual/websites claiming that it can (over coax). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lennyw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50506 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94512 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
