6.2 Main Setting

6.2.1 Sample Rate

The Sample rate determines the number of audio samples per second that the

Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC) and S/PDIF digital interface will output. The

Xonar D2 audio card can support sample rates up to 192KHz (44.1K, 48K, 96K,

192KHz). Usually audio CDs and MP3 les are 44.1KHz; DVD-Video uses 48KHz;

DVD-Audio or other HD media may contain 96KHz or 192KHz high-denition

audio content. Please select the corresponding sample rate for your playback

sources to get the best audio delity. Even if your setting differs from the audio

source’s sample rate, the Xonar D2 engine will do super high delity sample-rate-

conversion with a double oating-point lter, which can reduce total harmonic

distortion (THD+N) by -140dB.
