Ok, I'll buy that.

But what if I can't hear the benifits of Native 96Khz in first place? Because I don't hear a difference taking something that is "Ideal" and down sampling it.

Or Meridian can Down Sample in their consumer PreAmp better than any professional downmixing CD equipment?

I don't deny the pre-ringing problem and Meridian's fix. I just question if I'll be able to hear it, based on basic test I did.

I think there is more to an 808.2/3 than apodizing.

Sounds too good be true.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
