Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Re: Anyone using dCS Purcell out there?

The logic here eludes me. There is nothing in what DK wrote to indicate that if you hook up a transport, say via coax, *to* the P-1A and then hook up the P1-A *to* a 192-capable DAC via I2S, that the DAC will do other than crank out 192 KHz upsampled sound. If you have a 16/44 CD in a transport, in to the P-1A comes 16/44; the P-1A interpolates and upsamples and then sends 24/192 out the I2S; the 24/192 goes to the DAC via I2S, and the DAC converts it to hopefully glorious analog. Assuming your 192 DAC doesn't do its own upsampling etc. better than the P-1A, you *want* to bypass any upsampling the DAC might do.
