Hi, All.

I just set up a surround system using a Beam Gen2 and 2 Play 1 speakers. The DAC on the Beam has the ability to play 24-bit audio, whereas the Play 1’s and limited to 16-bit. My question is, in this setup, when streaming Hi-res 24 bit audio, is the Beam DAC used for all speakers (“upgrading” the Play 1s), or is the stream downsampled in the Play 1s ( I know the Beam is playing the full 24-bit resolution)?

 

Any thoughts much appreciated,

Brian

It should be truncated to 16-bit (not downsampled -- the sampling rate is unchanged)) at the Play:1. 

Thank you, Ratty. Much appreciated.

Best Regards,

Brian
