Anyone listening to 24/196?

If so, what DAC are you using? The Benchmark can intake those signals, but it downsamples them to 110. The BelCanto can't take them. The Bryston BDA-1 is one of the few non-megabuck DACs that can take 192 as an input.

Anything else under 3k?

From Bryston materials: "The CS-4398 operates in one of three oversampling modes based on the input sample rate. Single-speed mode supports input sample rates up to 50 kHz and uses a 128x oversampling ratio. Double-speed mode supports input sample rates up to 100 kHz and uses an oversampling ratio of 64x. Quad-speed mode supports input sample rates up to 200 kHz and uses an oversampling ratio of 32x."

And, of course, SACD. ;-)

Yes, although you need a different DAC for SACD, as it doesn't resolve to the PCM x/y khz format. What I mean is that something like the Bryston can decode all variants of x/y between certain parameters, but SACD is a different (DSD) process and is not compatable.

Of course it is too early to tell, but PCM 24/192 will replace SACD. We have to see what Telarc and the others who are still recording and selling SACDs do, if they move to a Blu-Ray based 24/192 or not. I personally think it very well could happen, ergo my search for a DAC now for this.

DXD is still, of course, king. Just think - in 10 or more years, we will be using DXD on our wristwatch-phones.
