16/48 vs. 24/96?
I read the other post about this debate, but basically what I got from it is that anything over 16/48 is excessive and unnoticeable. Is this true? I'm interested in getting the B&W MM-1, but apparently its DAC only supports a maximum USB playback of 16/48. Does this mean that it won't playback...- kzhlin
