Hello
I know this is a simple question - can I play 24/192 stereo music files via SPDIF input into my 861v4?
I am confused from the spec.
Thanks

Doh - I did think that was the case.
Shame the new Anne Bisson album "Conversations" is available as the 192/24 Master on USB Card.
I really wanted the album because I know its been made well there is no CD yet, just the master on USB Card, Vinyl or MP3 none suitable for me
Grrr
Thanks

Won't the 861 just down sample it? If not, just down sample a copy of it using dBpoweramp or the like. It will take up less space on your server.
Main system - Sources (Kodi-HTPC, Vero 4k, FireTV, Sat) into Trinnov Altitude 32 (8-16) (+Roon), Trinnov Amplitude 8 amp & Vivid Audio (Giya G3, V1.5) and REL Stentor III speakers. Others: F80 + Raspberry Pi and other Pi systems.

... the new Anne Bisson album "Conversations" is available as the 192/24 Master on USB Card. What server are using? Can it perform real time downsampling to 96K? If not then, do as Cliff suggests and use dBpoweramp to transcode it to 96K FLAC. Regards, Carl

OK thanks, might be worth a try, I have seen how to do it with DSP effect in dBpoweramp. Makes me doubtful over paying the price for the high res album but I probably still will  Thanks

I tend to purchase the highest SQ available, once I have it ... well I have it.
My Meridian is limited, to 96kHz via the ID40 card, but with Roon I can add other non-Meridian zones or maybe I'll added a Meridian USB interface that can handle 192 ... who know's what the future will bring?
Regards,
Carl

I tend to purchase the highest SQ available, once I have it ... well I have it. Roon's policy that all files be playable on all zones helps a lot with this. In practise it means you can buy as high quality as you fancy, and Roon will allow all zones to make the best of it they can. So DSD for example will play as native DSD one the zones that allow it, be converted and down sampled to 24/88 on Meridian Sooloos zones, and down sampled further to 16/44 for a laptop or other low-quality playback. Talking of which, I look forward to an ID4x allowing streaming of 192kHz and DSD into my 818v3...

I have ordered the Anne Bisson high res USB card and will downsample in dBpoweramp if necessary and see how it sounds and report back
