So far through researching I know of only two DACs that are 1) nonoversampling and 2) accept up to 96khz sample rates thru USB - even if the DAC truncates to 16-18 bits, higher sample rates are still accepted (and maybe someone can confirm that I'm right about this for the Havana)...

Red Wine Audio Isabellina

MHDT Havana

Any others??? Thanks!

Pesciolino,

I hear really great things about the Havana... looks like I'll be picking up the Paradisea 3 within the next few weeks.

Although I haven't researched the Havana as much as the Paradesia, it does seem that all the DACs over at MHDT Labs accept 96khz (both past and present). It appears that the chips will truncate to 16 bits, but I'm not positive on how it is handled through the CS8414 input.

Check out the thread over at Audio Circle on the Paradesia... seems that they have discussed this question... Link (previous page as well).

Hope this helps...
