24/96 transport??


Do you need a 24/96 capable transport to be able to take advantage of a 24/96 non-upsampling dac? I have seen certain transports advertised as 24/96 output capable and wonder if this is some marketing gimmick or if a 24/96 dac needs such capability in a transport. Thanks

Thanks for the response. What puzzles me is why Levinson owners, for example, who use the 37 transport which, as I understand it, does NOT pass a 24/96 signal, would upgrade to the 24/96 Levinson DAC. Isn't it like pumping 93 octane gas into a Ford Escort? Aren't the benefits of 24/96 dacs wasted if a 24/96 capable transport isn't used?
