Dac Question.

I have a DacMagic 100
I have my PC output set to 16/44.1
Incoming sample rate is lit to 44.1

Is the outgoing rate I am hearing 44.1?
That is my lreference.

I was thinking of buying a PS Digital Audio Link iii however I read in the manual it says choose between 96 and 192 ....I am not interested in upsampling at this time.

So to.circle back I just want to know either DAC will send out what same rate it receives.

Thanks!

Most DACs internally upsample (and for good reason), but the output is the original rate. 96kHz is better than 192Kbps, most DACs aren’t their best at that high of a sampling, the Benchmark DACs even downsample 192Kbps to maintain peak performance (and it’s not like 192Kbps has any benefit to consumers).

@mzkmxcvI am finding some automatically upsample...

I want outgoing same as incoming unless I specify....

Confirmed...just called ps audio.....

It does not spit out a native mode from your source settings....

The NUWave model does it has Native light on fron panel.

The ps 3 you have to choose either 96 or 192.
