Re: help with components for music server...

ED,

The lynx 2 is one of those "prosumer cards". It supports up to 32/200. Although pricey (why is it that audiophiles will easily spend $2-3K or more on a cdp, but get cheap as hell when it comes to PC audio balking at a $1k sound card...and expect it to sound better tahn their 3k CDP?) I figured that it handled high enough sampling rates and frequencies, to be future proof for a long while. I can always get another computer if I need to go to those levels, or a new format comes along.

BUt The max I can do is 32/96 since I haven't found an upsampler that goes higher. Well, I CAN create files with db power amp that are 24/192 and then the computer doesn't have to do the heavy lifting realtime, but that is a ton of space, and I am not sure it is worth the time effort and money to do so.

Foobar has a setting to output 32 bits, and I usually have it set to that.

Do you know of an upsampler that goes to 192, or 176?
