Bryston BDA-1 DAC
The MR1 is a cool little box, but then you have to convert it to pcm (96/24, 192/24, or whatever). And the adc abd dac aren't gonna be on a par with what dotu is shopping for.

Sample Rate Converter for Foobar
it's not random, it's 0s for bitrate, and for 48 to 96, it's interpolated. No one changes anything going from 16 to 24, it's just padding. Going from 44 or 48 to 96, interpolation algorythms matter.

OPPO BDP-83
I have moved almost entirely away from playing dvds. I rip them to itunes, and play them that way. I'll probably just add a lot more storage to itunes and do that with bluray too, when the price of bluray drives comes down.

The universal parts don't add much to the cost. I'm guessing it won't be too long.

depends on your goals, I guess. With a duet and just doing audio, I'd go with the cheap one, it does great. If you want to do the video stuff, or other stuff with it, it's probably worth it to get the new one, or any of the new systems with the upgraded video chip, since the next version of macos will make heavy use of them.

Sample Rate Converter for Foobar
The reason I'd do it is to maximize quality while still being relatively simple to switch between. I'm not a big fan of SRC, and I'd want to minimize the number of times it was done.

Sample Rate Converter for Foobar
Given what you're looking at spending for a source, it may be worth it to have 2 soundcards. One dedicated to 44.1 and one dedicated to 96khz. When you're going to listen to the 96khz source material, use the pro card, the rest of the time, use the other. Just change your input selection on the dac.

Does your pro soundcard have the option for 44.1? Because if that's what most of your source material is in, you might want to leave it set at that except when you want to listen to 96.
