I tried that running by running a 192 signal thru the digital out of the Olive 4HD into the MCD-500 and into the C-1000. No problems.
Jim.......Just an observation, more curious about who manufactures the new C50 / C48 DACs, especially since it has been said they are by ESS, but not confirmed by McIntosh. At this time I am not concerned about 24 bit versus 32 bit depth. I was pleased when you reported success playing 192kHz signals through the MCD500 DACs.

I have no plans to replace either of my C1000 preamps with the C50 or the C48, but I am interested in them as a McIntosh product.
