Masterstroke Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I’m going to be soon installing a Meridian Explorer2 USB DAC, and am a bit concerned over the impact of A+ upsampling on the Meridian which itself upsamples to 24/192. Should I set the A+ (3.0.6) forced upsampling to “none” (currently on 24/96) to avoid doubling up? Seems to me that processing the music twice in this way would be a bad thing. Any views on this please? Link to comment
Masterstroke Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 So I set the A+ upsampling to 24/192 and the Meridian then auto upsamples it for a second time? Doesn't seem right to me. Or have I completely misunderstood the interaction between player & DAC? Link to comment
Masterstroke Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Thanks Jud. So really it doesn't matter how low I set the A+ sample rate it will get the 24/192 treatment when it reaches the DAC. I guess the same applies if my music is of higher (than 24/192) sample rates, it will get downsampled to the Explorers maximum. My concern was that too much processing might cause SQ problems.
