Figure 108
Figures 107 and 108 indicate a Sampling Rate of 128
or 256 times the Sampling Rate of a CD Disc for the
incoming DSD Digital Audio Signal.
The Sampling Rate and the Bit Rate are determined
by the original recording, the Application Output
Format (when available) and the McIntosh-HD Control
Panel Settings.
Note: In general, when the original music is recorded
at a higher Sampling Rate, the result is usually
more detail in the music. However, this higher
rate results in consuming larger amounts of stor-
age space. The Sample Rate usually should be set
to match the Sample Rate of the music recording
being played back.
