I've got some 96/24 FLAC files..and just to see what would happen, i copied them to my rockpod and loaded it up, and, ok, it skips on really high bitrate files...the higher the worse...naturally..stuff over 2500kbps is almost unbearable..pausing the unit for a bit helps...however, that's not my issue.
while searching for something similar..i picked up a recording question stating (well, it was a quote from something else) that the hardware should be capeable of 96/24. now, i know that's recording, but, obviously if they're going to slap a 96/24 ADC in there...then it wouldn't be hard to believe they'd slap a 96/24 DAC in there too. now, i could probably ask stuff like, is there any truth behind this..however, all i want to know is what is the 5.5 30g capeable of doing...and if so, does rockbox still resample or send as is?
