The "lock" indicator on the Bryston DACs is to show the DAC is synched with a digital input. It's unrelated to the specific sampling rate.
Question on my DAC
I have an ARC LS27 preamp and recently bought a used Bryston BDA-2 DAC which improved sound quality significantly. Oh so satisfying...
However, I have a question about sampling rates: I stream music from Deezer and the new Amazon HD streaming service. It seems no matter what I stream, including remastered recordings etc, the sampling rate stays at 44.1Khz. There is also an LED that indicates it's "locked". I can push a separate "upsampling" button, but the lock remains in place and also stays at 44.1KHZ. I don't see any "unlock" buttons and the user manual doesn't give a lot of information on that subject. My source is a Bluesound vault and I use the coax output.
Again, I love the sound this thing produces so I'm not searching for better quality, just curious about how the sampling is supposed to work.
Thanks!
