The other way to view this is that at last Sooloos catches up with where M were 10 years ago with DVDA playback of 2-channel 192k material. The fact that even through the 861, G68 and 568.2 via the 598's and 800's the input signal was always down-sampled to 96k.

It does raise the question of whether they will enable 96/24 5.1 playback anytime soon. Given that we have seen again the sorry state of DVDA players coming back from repair without DVDA playback it might just rectify some of that frustration and lead to a few more Sooloos sales.
I just hope that the ID40 has been designed with this in mind such that it's either ready for it now or is just a f/w change to enable it.

It would be nice of course to hear what a DSP would do with a 192k feed. Whether or not the DSP's ever get 192k isn't going to lose me any sleep. The 192k tracks that I do play sound utterly sublime even with the current 96k limit.
