What sample rate/bit depth is worth using? - booshtukka - 17-Apr-2024
I know this topic has been covered a bunch of times. Over optical, what's the maximum sample rate/bit depth that the Phantoms are actually able to honour?
For Dante I have 48k/PCM 24. Would 96k/PCM 32 achieve anything, or just be downsampled and a waste of bandwidth?

I'm using 48k/PCM 24 because that's the max my Symetrix can support. I haven't tried 96K/ PCM 32... have you toggled between the 2? Do you hear a difference?

I haven’t spent enough time trying. Probably not. But it would feel nice if I knew it were achieving anything.
If the Phantoms were downsampling though would be a waste of bandwidth and processing power.

The Phantoms, over optical, can indeed handle a maximum sample rate/bit depth of 96k/PCM 24. However, it's essential to note that the Dante setup operates at 48k/PCM 24, which might lead to confusion. While switching to 96k/PCM 32 theoretically increases the sample rate and bit depth, it won't bring any tangible benefits in this scenario. The higher settings would simply be downsampled to match the Dante's capabilities, making it essentially a waste of bandwidth. So, in practical terms, sticking to 48k/PCM 24 for Dante would suffice, ensuring efficient use of resources without compromising quality.
