How frequency you guys usually put for Resampler?

I usually stick with 48kHz, but most songs are in 44.1kHz. Will it sounds better in higher freq?

I prefer 48kHz as the treble is clearer than 44.1kHz.

Also, how much % you guys use for noise sharpening? 150% sounds good to me.

What's you guys' suggestion? Btw I'm usually hear either from laptop speaker or EP-630..

True, Z5500 is not meant for music.

but i use coxial (digital output) to z5500 from my x-fi platinum fatality champion series. listening in stereo mode. it was amazing out of my expectation... clarity, detailing, projection was good! rclxm9.gif of course with WMP11... with foobar2k so so

No..you try SSRC first and you will know the difference...

I have 1 question to all SSRC user...i used the 192k sample rate with ultra quality setting..but i realized 48k sample rate give more clarity and treble.
What is happening?? Doesn't the higher sample rate mean higher quality and clarity?? icon_question.gif icon_question.gif icon_question.gif
