*yes, i know i returned the misspelling favor. heh.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Yeah, it's a wierd space we live in. There are so many times when a guy introduces himself and his sceen name and I don't recognise it. And then I think about it for a while or see it on a name badge and I get it.

For example mrarroyo is Mister Arroyo, I think, but in my head it was Mario , spelled wrong with an extra "r": Mrario.

I know that Ray calls Arron "immitybikker", but it's really "I'm a mountain biker" or somthing like that.

Yeah, it's a wierd world we live in.

Yep. Our poster, "noseallinit" -- everytime I see that screen name, I read it as "noselint." Go, thou, an' figure.

Actually the mr in mrarroyo is not for Mr. They are the first initials of my first and middle name: Miguel Ramon Arroyo

Sweet, from now on I'm going to look at your screen name and just say, "Miguel."

Now I've got to figure our what to say in my head for D-EJ915, 00940, fr4c, and feh1325. Fr1ggen alfab3t s0uP!

Is that a fact? I am pretty sure CS4389 does oversample signal to 24/192. At least that's what I've read.

USB/SPDIF chip doesn't do any conversion though.

Hi Andrew,

I think you are confusing oversampling with upsampling. The 4398 is an oversampling DAC, however does not upsample - that is accomplished outside the DAC with a separate chip, as in the Max DAC where the signal is upsampled to 24/192k.

Yep, you are right. I always confuse two. Thanks for clarification.

BTW, terrific article on the subject

So let's see. I have my Macbook (w/optical out) with Apple Lossless,feeding an Airport Express that also has an optical output. I could add the Micro in the mix as a "preamp" feeding a T- amp and my Paradigm Atoms. Sounds like a all in one solution.
Now the Desktop Portable comes out before the Micro. Big jump in SQ?
