[LAU] 384kHz DAC - Monolith USB?

[Moshe Werner]

Yeah I have reservations too in this regard.
Actually last time I tested my hearing everything above 18k is dead, and I
believe that this is still quite good.
But a lot of myths were debunked in this paper nevertheless. And that by
one of the most respected ADC designers in the industry.
