About the resampling... I just thought that maybe would be better if I upsample in the pc to 24/96 and then send the data to the DAC. This way a DAC that upsamples to only 24/96 wouldn't have to do it in real time anymore, just the DA conversion.
What sample size and rate to rip?
I use Nero 7 Ultra Edition to rip my cds and before the ripping starts you have the option to select different bit sample size and frequency sample rates. Do you think that I should only rip at the lossless 16/44.1 sample rate thats on the cd or would be better to rip at 32 bits and 48 kHz (48 kHz is the maximum sample rate)? I wonder if this upconversion while ripping would introduce some kind of errors, although Nero has a jitter correction option.
After the ripping I could downconvert to 24 bits and increase the sample rate to 96 kHz in order to be able to send the data through S/PDIF. Would be better to rip directly to 24 bits instead of 32?
Also, if I rip a cd at 16/44.1 would be better to use the Nero SoundWave editor to upconvert it to 24/96 or should this upconversion be left for the external DAC to do it?
