[QUOTE="Cross_over, post: 1099227, member: 19846"] I recently bought a Theta Data Basic CD Transport and DS Pro Prime DAC from a forum member with the idea of keeping the transport and selling the DAC. Having inserted this 30 year old DAC into my system I found it to still sound absolutely amazing, even with Toslink optical from my media PC and therefore decided to hold onto it for now. I use JRiver which I can set to seamlessly convert all files to 44.1 or 48KHz. My question is what your thoughts are on keeping the output at 24 bits and have the DAC truncate the word length to 16 bit or do I use a dithered 16 bit output (available in MC29). [/QUOTE]
