Title: Apogee Rosetta AD 96K!

It's here! ;D
Wow. :o I didn't think there would be such a big improvement since I already thought the 48K model was amazing. Bumping the sampling rate to 96K really unleashed the potential of this unit; every aspect of the sound is much improved. Overall, everything sounds much more relaxed, refined and extended at both ends of the spectrum.
Here's a few samples:
Fleetwood Mac - 'Crystal' from the 45RPM reissue. [smg id=422 type=av]
These are raw files (down converted to 320K .mp3's), I didn't clean the records first and the back porch was 61 degrees, so it was a little chilly. My Zyx sounds a little reserved and 'tight' when it's cold.
What do ya think? ;D

A.W.E.S.O.M.E. 8) Give it a few hundred hours of break-in an it will reach its full potential.
I've got the same temperature in my music room, and while my Denon DL-110 cartridge seems not to mind, my power amp clearly suffers, and delivers less bass.
