[QUOTE="Jeditrav, post: 480697, member: 51114"] Cheers for your input guys! I'd have to say that keeping the quality of my lossless music is more important to me than the quality loss incurred from downsampling an already compromised, compressed, tv/video soundtrack. While I don't *think* I can hear a difference in the music quality when resampling from 44100hz to 192000hz, there is that little 'niggle' in the back of my mind that's telling me that 44100 doesn't go evenly into 192000 and as such, what I'm hearing isn't 'perfect', and that does 'hinder' my enjoyment! (stoopid brain!). I've maintained the AC3 soundtrack for all my important movies, etc, so that'll just get bitstreamed and isn't affected. I've raised the issue with Asus, it'll be interesting to hear what they have to say. For now I guess I'll just stick with 44100hz output. Here's a query - I've heard of this ASIO plugin (which I haven't tried out yet) which provides 'bit-perfect' playback; what is it about the BASS engine, or the internal player, that isn't 'bit-perfect'?
