Why are the analog inputs converted to digital?
We have decided to convert them using high resolution sample rates (96 or 192 kHz – 24 bit), so all signals follow the same path, and go through the internal DAC of the D-Premier. This architecture is the result of extensive studies to achieve optimal volume control linearity and highly contributes to its unique performances and great versatility. Therefore we guarantee the quality of the audio result. NOTE: The sampling at 48 kHz and subsequent frequency aliasing mentioned by Paul Miller in his extensive review in HiFi News corresponds to a very early software version running on a prototype. All production units ship with 96 kHz by default / 192 kHz by user configuration.
