Not sure where this thread is going but just to throw everyone off guard, doesn't the "kHz" mean the speed at which it's sampled? So if you're listening to a CD, and have a DAC that's rated at 192kHz, then in theory isn't it read at four times its sampled rate? Same thing with a DTS track that's rated at 96kHz and you have DAC rated at 192kHz then you're reading it at twice the sampled rate? "In theory" at least? Or am I totally wrong and off based? Oh, and to really throw everyone a curve, a 24/192 DAC isn't state of the art anymore, there are now 24/384 DACS that are in some preamps as we read this. Just a thought...
