Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems Impressions of the 861v8

I can't remember in what thread this was covered but an article was linked to which discussed the technical issues for and against higher sample rates.
The marketing men do like to push bigger numbers means better and on the surface it seems logical but apparently things are not that simple.
Meridian down sample to 96 KHz anyway and, as I understand it, there is nothing to gain going higher, in fact this can degrade the sound.

I am certain someone will point us in the relevant direction, perhaps I need to re read this. Chris
