The VRS Audio system I have heard is an early model. It was made before VRS had the 3 options. I believe it is very similiar to the current Revelation Gold.

I'm running Foobar with ASIO output and 16bit fixed output. I use the Perpetual Tech P1A to interpolate and upsample to 24/96. I tried using Foobar to do the upsampling but it seemed to me that the P1A does a little better job. It just sounds smoother to me using the P1A to upsample.

I'm on the short list to demo the Empirical Turbo Mod P3A. What did you think of the unit? I have read that most people who have the Turbo mod P3A find they dont need/want their P1A's any more for upsampling or jitter correction. Any thoughts?

  Steve's P3A is a fine unit. It's quite an achievement, really, coming from the rather old, stock P3A. Very finely graded resolution, better detail, refinement, and SLAM. Only roadblock is the price, but you know how that goes..

  Haven't A-B'd P1A vs. Foobar upsampling into Turbomod P3A, but since I find ASIO resampling to be plenty smooth (internally to PCI, though), I suspect you won't need the P1A. You'll find out, I suppose.
