Ripped music - sampling rate

Post by ianm0 »

Using MediaMonkey 4.0, I ripped a track from a cd. From my desktop PC with an onboard soundcard (Realtek AC889A codec), the digital output from MediMonkey 4 is routed to Cambridge Audio Dacmagic. The latter shows the sampling rate is 48 kHz instead of 44.1. Same thing for several tracks ripped.

When I play the CD track using a transport + Cambridge Audio Dacmagic, the sampling rate shown is 44.1 khz.

Why 48 kHz?

What format did you rip to and what did you set as Sample Rate?

Ripped to FLAC with MediaMonkey. Didn't set sampling rate - don't think one could set this.

I think I found the answer: the AC97 onboard digital output has been resampled to 48 kHz - MediaMonkey has nothing to do with that. (Ref: http://www.head-fi.org/t/193296/realtek-ac97-s-pdif-out)
