RE: What DACs can play 24/176 or 24/192? RME or TC Electronics

When you say dac...
If you have a dac that can accept 24/192 and you pass 24/192 to it... then your good to go... but
the 'hard' part is getting the 24/192 out of you're computer intact and not re/down sampled by windows or your soundcard... usb won't cut it at 24/192 yet ,,, right guys? Go to www.phasure.com and talk to PeterSt if you want an assured way of doing it. computer/hardware options
At the moment I'm only using the Fireface 800 as a "pass through" firewire to spdif to my Stello DAC. The Stello DAC only accepts 24/96 so that's what I'm limited to... I'm using the Stello as a DAC instead of the Fireface because the Stello sounds marginally better.

Here's a link to a discussion about a Naim Audio DAC that's coming out that maybe is going for the extreme 384 rates or higher? but maybe not...

Personally, I'm putting my bets on a combination of PeterSt's XXHighEnd as a player and a DAC he is creating. The player is out, and with the latest version 9y-4 PeterSt has developed something he calls 'arc prediction' upsampling. At the moment it can take a 44.1 and upsample it to 176.4. The math he's developed for it is made to work best with a NonOverSampling DAC 24/192 (maybe higher?)... one that he is creating and a bunch of us are chomping at the bit to try. My Stello is an OS DAC, but still knocks my socks off with his arc prediction upsampling at 88.2.
