Sooloos (ID41) Input
Files and content: Lossless to 192KHz/24Bit, Lossy, MQA
Transport: Up to 96KHz/24Bit
What does this mean?
As far as we can work out, the same as currently the case is with Sooloos. You can put 192kHz files in your store, and play them back - as in "get sound out of them". Transport is 96kHz because it down samples in the core, for transport over the network, to fit the ID41 limitation of 96kHz.

Output data rate is 36.864 Mb/s for 48kHz base-frequency and 33.8688 for 44.1kHz base-frequency content. (Same as DSP8000)
Output data rate is equivalent to 768kHz or 705.6kHz / 24 bit two-channel.
Yes, I heard a description of this technology, and the extreme upsampling, first in discussion of the SE speakers a few years ago. It's good that they are actually saying what they're doing to some extent.
