24/192 is not the end all be all

I think the most important attribute a DAC can have is the ability to be slaved by a master clock.

Having said that, I am starting to think Steve was right, clocks do make all the difference. For example a clock like the Antelope audio clock could make a so-so DAC a top performer, and any other DAC that can be use a master clock will never be more than what it is....

24/192 is all about an algorithm smoothing out a digital signal in such a was as to give the sonic quality of more resolution. I for one actually don't like upsampled music, or have yet to hear an algorithm I like...I'd rather use a tone control. gasp, I guess that would void my Audiophile card. Then again, maybe thats what this upsampling thing is all about, being able to alter the sound in a perceived positive way and still tout purity of playback.
