We're not going to get around the DAC or player oversampling-upsampling-oversampling so I take it I shouldn't get too bogged down with all this. Let's face it, compared to my LPs and cassettes of the past I'm doing pretty well as far as sound quality goes.

I'm happy to adopt this strategy.

So we really do want the bitdepth and sampling rate as used in the studio. I was hoping to avoid 24-bit 192kHz files.
