I would like 192 kHz upsampling with AES/EBU output, does something like that exist?

I'm not actually trying to make a joke here, I just forget what it was actually called it resamples to like 26-bit/22.5mhz (yes, mhz) and then drives analog out (so no AES afaik, but its putting the data to a level the DAC1 couldn't use) |

You think that maybe the potential artefacts caused by 16bit/44.1kFs/s are going to be magically removed by upsampling? I'm not trying to be insulting, I am genuinely interested in why you feel you will get a better result by upsampling or using a larger bit depth. |
