Only differences between C47 and C52 are that C52 has 8 band analog equalizer, blue meters and more inputs and outputs. Sound is same.

Considering mrsp is $7000.00 US for C52 and $4000.00 US for C47 , it is hard to justify $3000 difference for the 8 band equalizer, blue meters and more inputs + outputs.

Try adding more inputs when you need them; just sayin.

Can someone please share if C47 works well with Foobar2000?
Also, does it adjust the sampling rate according to incoming data or do I have to do it through the Mc ASIO control panel in Windows?
The manual is pretty vague on this one...

I have a C47 connected to an MCT450 & MC352 powering Sopra 2 speakers. Fantastic sound.

So, can someone owning one of those please confirm whether it works seamlessly when feeding the data from a computer?
