Rana N. Kabir replied to the discussion 'Effects of downsampling and comparison of native 16/44 vs. 16/88' in the group MISCELLANEOUS"This is far more complex.

- A dedicated HT designed for Sound first. My extensive collection of software is mostly hi-rez two channel so this is more important. Weakest link in the system is probably the Preamp which sounds decent as long as its in complete Bypass mode. System sound is designed for Speed, Clarity, Coherence & a huge SoundStage.

Room treated with various damping & acoustic treatment (still somewhat overly reverberant for the Magneplanars due to their dipole radiation),... room & system is a work in progress!
