SB3 supports 24/48 kHz . But if you sync the SB3 in another place to your rpi3 it to will ouåuit 24748 anyway in those cases . In most cases music is 16/44.1 anyway as most records are of this quality.... My personal view better than redbook is debatable i was a stern believer in hirez for a decade . but the actual case is that CD is good enough for human hearing . Note that the actual master used for hirez release could be very different so it apples an oranges no guarantee which actually better. The real test downsample a so called hirez file yourself and try hear the diffrence :) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
