Benchmark does not upsample. I would say check the settings in amazon music or on your computer. Also, restart the computer when it’s connected to the benchmark and try streaming 16/44 only to benchmark.
Another option would be to give benchmark a call after you tried everything on your end.
sample rate indicator display
Morning all. Thanks for all your past help, it has been appreciated. If I'm fortunate enough to get this answered now, it will avoid calls to companies later.
I have a Benchmark DAC 3B and a Meitner DAC MA-1 (newest DAC) I will go over both of these unit again this morning. I have noticed (If memory serves) that when playing Redbook CD's the appropriate sample rates are reflected and illuminated for CD's on both DAC's. When I move to stream (via Amazon HD service) USB to play through my windows based computer, the following is observed. INFO: When on Amazon HD it will show the song being played and at what sample rate. It ranges between, CD quality 16/44 and streaming up to 192. However, the indicator lights ( I believe, if memory serves) regardless of Amazon indicating song playing at 48/96/192 show on display on both DAC's at 192. I listened yesterday on system that has the Newest Meitner DAC installed and it never changed from 192 light on regardless if song was being played at 96, according to Amazon rate indicted on computer . Both DAC's sound GREAT, edge to Meitner as it's still burning in. Are both DAC's up sampling from lower rate to 192???? Thanks so much, sorry to be so windy. Robert TN
