Many of the other streamers out there support higher than 96k via their SPDIF digital output. Many DACs will support higher than 96k through their SPDIF inputs as well. I don't think SPDIF specifications are the bottleneck for Meridian.

I just don't think Meridian see any AQ lift in using 192 kHz, support for FLAC files at this rate was added more for convenience than AQ.

Bob's written many papers on this, for him even 88 kHz/96 kHz is overkill. I can't recall what his recommendation was now but it was somewhere in the middle ground between 44 kHz and 96 KHz.

Regards,
Carl

I think you are referring to a quite early interview where he said 60kHz or something. But I believe he's revised his view upwards a bit since then, partly in response to the preechoing and filters question.
