Subject: some help

i hope you could help me with this matter.

I am planning on doing a nice little combo consisting of a

Meridan 596 > RCA Digital output > DCS Purcell (just about to purchase
second hand, pre firewire version) >RCA Digital output > Meridian 568 >
2x XLR balanced audio to a primare A30.2 amp.


I know that the 568 can only accept 96khz/24 bit, but i was wondering
since the DCS supports 192khz/24bit, is there anyway to output it over
RCA (for a future receiver)... or can it only be output over IEEE in the
newer version upsamplers only to a compatibale DAC (such as the DCS
elgar?)

tnx

Dear Mr ********,

All Purcells will output 24/96 on single wire PCM interfaces (AES, RCA,
BNC) as well as Dual AES (AES1 + AES2).
All Purcells will output 24/176.4 or 24/192 on the Dual AES interface
ONLY.
We do not support 24/176.4 or 24/192 over single wire PCM interfaces due
to signal degradation. These interfaces were originally specified for
use at up to 24/48 and do not give adequate performance at 24/192.
Although some manufacturers are doing this, single wire PCM at 192kS/s
is not recognised in the industry as a standard format.

I hope this helps.
