I go out of the DDDAC using the balanced outs into a TVC, a S&B TX102(might be 103). DC offset is minimal from the DAC so no caps. I like to think I'm pretty open minded with most things, apart that is from HIFI black magic, so oversampling was one of the reasons for going down this route. I'll try your parameters and see what happens Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ KevT's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62394 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
