Hi,
With HS=Y the 861 outputs x2 sample rate to the DSP's.
With HS=N the 861 outputs x1 sample rate to the DSP's which the 5200's the upsample to x2.
If you've got the latest firmware in both I'd not expect much difference.
That said, I prefer to have the 861 upsample (as per M recommendations, to upsample as earlier as possible in the audio chain).
I'll try it myself at the weekend, when I can have a proper listen.
Regards,
Carl
Have you now had a chance to listen?
I am disappointed that so few people have posted their impressions here. And only one of the four mods has posted their impressions.
