I was recently told by Cary Audio there is a factory software update for my original 306 SACD/CD player. Stereophile had reported tests revealed the players DAC truncated 24-bit to 16-bits. Cary stated the factory software update will fix the truncation problem - BUT - Cary specifically stated after the software update the player will play 24/96 and 24/192 inputs via it's digital input.
I know there are many other sampling rates other than 96KHz and 192KHz. So obviously this significantly limits the high resolution downloads this particular DAC can play.
How many other DAC's are limited to specific sampling rates which will likewise limit high resolution file playability?
