I recently modded my player with SPDIF board from Audiopraise so that I can enjoy high resolution PCM output for my SACD / DVD-A Collections.

However I have to limit the output to 96kHz otherwise the DSP-8ks cannot lock the signal via SPDIF.

I found DSP-8ks spec said:


Inputs: Two digital inputs to SPDIF standard; 32kHz-96kHz sampling rates at up to 24 bit; MHR support. (A future software update will enable support for 192kHz.)


So I did call Meridian UK around early Jan 2008 enquirer about the hi-res PCM input. The tech guy said in confident that the 8ks can accept 192kHz PCM via coaxial SPDIF.

I forgot to ask about the 172kHz, but if 192kHz is supported, so should 172kHz?

My 8ks was delivered about late Oct 2007 and I haven't bought a com cable to check it's firmware version.

Anyone here has successfully feeding 172/192kHz PCM (Not MHR) to the 8ks?

Thanks,
