Yep, understand completely and have fun <smile>

The Zoom H1 of course supports these standards along with the new Sound Device I bought for my Windows/Mac machines which I outlined some time ago.

The Rotel DAC I use in my Den system supports these high sampling rates along with the Denon AVR-2113 in the lounge etc so thankfully 192K/24 is very much the standard thing now.

As for the DAT recorder? I still have two, the Tascam is a truly excellent recorder though transport is slow.

The Sony records well but the in-built DAC'S for that machine are nothing short of terrible so best to play it through an external DAC.

Very interesting. Also dependes how small they can make these things. The audio 
dudes didn't bring that up did they. Every one is too use to having thousand 
thousands of tunes on their phone always right at hand. I think this will be 
another audio geek product. Geeks like me. All though they never spoke of what 
sample rate and bit deapth these things will go to. You know me, PCM 96 KHZ 24 
Bit please. Or hell step it up and go 192 KHZ. Yep, I'm an HD guy. No more CD 
or DVD audio for me thanks. Don't get me wrong, it's cool and I use it cause 
that's all my DM 420 can take. But once I get an LS 14 at the very least bie 
bie DVD audio for good. Ahahahaha! Since this on list, any 1 here that has an 
LS 14 or the epic LS 100. Please explain if they did in the manual, what's the 
magic sause in their WAV files? I ask because apparently they can play PCM 96 
KHZ 24 bit but only and only those WAV files made on the recorder it self. But 
why? What's so special about theirs? That's just silliness from Olympus if you 
ask me. That should have been some kind of prank. It totally comes off that way 
too. Oh you can play HD audio on these things alright, but haha, only owr 
files. Gotcha! Ahahahahaha! It's just like only the more expensive DMs being 
able to do CD and DVD audio. Thankfully with the DM4 and 2 they cut that 
nonsence out.
