Hello all
Thanks for your input.
I plan on using my ARC REF3 to send the balanced analog signal to the Audiophile board for digitizing at 24/192. I want lots of head room so I can play later with the recording.
Most of the CD's I have purchased that are from analog masters other than MFSL & DCC and even some of those, sound compressed and shallow compared to the same music on vynil. So I want to see if I can do better. I also collect Acetates and want to record those at the highest level I can. If I tried to do this with the G68 I believe the best I could get from an unbalanced analog input to the zone 2 digital out is 16/44.1. That would not be enough for me. That is why I purchased the computer board. But I did expect to be able to send the 24/192 to the G68 and here it. I do know that it is over kill but wanted to do it anyway. I did this to make a music server but now I am going to try to record onto a DVD at 24/192 to see if that works.
I had heard that Bob Stewart had said that you cannot hear the difference, but then why do they upsample 16/44.1 to 24/88.1, 24/96 or 24/192 if we cannot here it. Also then why DVD Audio for that matter.
A little tidbit of information I thought you might like to know. The Library of Congress does not feel that converting their vast recorded material to CD or DVD will sound as good as it is in it`s current form so they are only doing what they must until a better form of recording comes along.
