But if you have a 48kHz file and you play it on a device that only does 44.1kHz, wont the rate converter have to resample in software? Doesn't that use CPU (my machine is very limited especially when watching DVDs) and lose quality? Are you also saying that if I have a device that does both 48kHz and 44.1kHz, and a 44.1kHz imput file, that it is better to resample (using some plughw magic) so as to send 48kHz to the device (because 44.1kHz is not divisible by 1000)? Of course, I have never managed to get my Audiophile USB to do 48kHZ even with plughw, but more on that in my next email. Can you give us more details on your USB audio device tests? I am hoping to replace my Audiophile USB and would like to know if you have any more information that you can give us on the Audiotrak Mayas and the Terratec Aureon. What are the signal to noises ratio like (compared to something like the Audiophile USB or the TASCAM US-122)? The Terratec Producer Phase 26 USB is a bit expensive for me at 320 euros. It's a pity that the EDIROL UA20 only does 44.1kHz. And, of course, the TASCAM US-122 does not have a digital ouput. thanks Stuart ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
