Ahh, don't worry, we'll support it on Linux without trouble...

 

The current driver is just fine, DAC just needs to expose those higher rates and it's all fine. No driver changes needed.

Unfortunately, the attachements to your blog are no longer visible ; I remember 256 looking much better than 128, 512 not looking so much better than 256 while those who output at 512 claim it's so much better. I wonder : is there a crossing point where more is too much (because of thermal noise, cpu load what have you...) and yields a decrease in SQ ? If you were no give notes to 128, 256, 512 etc, what would they be ? The idea is to plan an informed purchase of non only a 256 or 512 or more DAC but of the capable computer as well

It always depends on implementation. Theoretically more is better, but it also becomes equivalently harder to achieve in practice. There is no way to draw a line, or then it's a line drawn in sand on a beach...

if anyone wants to dump a Merlot for it would not measure good per ASR's criteria, I'll come pick it in the trash bin
