RE: Rotel RB-1092 and tube preamp

I found my 'd' amp, a GCC250 from PSAudio with B&O ICE modules to have a 'funny' top end which my panels didn't completely enjoy. I think there were some upper frequency phase issues, too.
Now, is spotify a 32kb sample rate or higher, like 44.1 or perhaps 48?
A 32kb sample rate implies a max frequency response of 16khz which makes your feed pretty much equivilent to decent FM.
I don't care about up/down/sideways sampling, what is the online feed rate?

Replacing the 'd' integrated with conventional stuff in the form of Parasound A23(s) made quite a difference for the better. With rms power a fraction less but I suspect as much as 1db more headroom or moreā€¦.
Too much is never enough
