has anyone tried PS Audio perfect wave duo
In any case, I am 99% sure it only deals with 16 bits, but I haven't queried the PS Audio folks yet to get the real answer. Ahh...does this mean the 96 and 192 kHz up-sampling modes are actually 16/96; 16/192? That doesn't seem right?? I guess it ...

Kartracer,Since the DL-III is an up-sampling DAC (with the choice of either 24/96 or 24/192) I assume that when the SB Duet feeds it a 24/48 signal (from 24/96 files which SqueezeCenter down-converts to 24/48), that signal is automatically up-samp...

dBpoweramp is a good choice.If you haven't already done so, at night, turn off all the lights, sit in your listening chair - just you and your backlit controller (and of course your remote for volume - I wouldn't use the controller for volume cont...

Anyone listening to 24/196?
I downloaded some 24/96 albums from HDTracks. You can never speak in absolutes on these things because there are so many variables but they clearly sound better to me. There's a certain something there (an anolog sounding somthing) that is an impr... 
Thinking about Laptop system - Newbie Questions
Smholl,Some things to consider:1) The SB Duet is limited to 24/48 natively (bit depth and sample rate).2) The Transporter will support up to 24/96 natively.High-rez PCM files are an exciting option for digital users (allowing for more information)...

Kartracer:Since you have the SB Duet, you are undoubtedly running the SqueezeCenter software, which will down-convert 24/96, or anything higher, to the Duet's native 24/48 output. I’m not sure if SqueezeCenter up-converts 16/44 to 24/48, or if it ...

Actually, the Duet will support up to 24/48 natively. I'm not sure about the DL-III (I know it up-samples – not sure about native though)?? I do know that the 24/96 files that I feed my Cullen-modded DL-III via the Duet all sound superior to my Re... 
bel canto dac 3 cd 2 owners
Chrissain:The information that I was trying to convey to you is that there are, by far, more, effective ways to spend $2,000. I am familiar with the Bel Canto DAC 3 and CD 2 - great gear. In reality, those devices are already behind the proverbial... 
bel canto dac 3 cd 2 owners
Your used DAC3 is worth about $1600, so I don't think that I would invest another $2000 into it, you'll never be able to recover your investment. I would personally rather put that money into a Music Server or Logitech Transporter.If I were you, I... 
How important are the Speaker Cabinets?
Thanks AlI apologize sincerely to Mechans. I am pulling my foot from my mouth as I type this. My sarcasm is never intended to be hurtful. 
How important are the Speaker Cabinets?
What does Mechans' post say? Does anyone have a clue??

Shazam,I'm still waiting on mine too. Like you, I’m hoping for a wireless Bridge, but as long as the remote control interface is stiller (which Paul indicates that it will be) I can live with an Ethernet connection - which might even enhance the t... 
centering the human voice
What's different about the new speaker placement compared to the way there were positioned when you could not get a center image? 
How any "wall pluggers" are out there?
I propose that we address all the music loving audiphiles amongst us who see after market tweaks, wires, power cords and power conditioning as "wall pluggers".What the hell are you trying to say anyway? Collect your thoughts, slow down and conside...
