Now you can ask yourself: What one would do with 196kHz 24-bit DAC's if the DAC is feeded with data that's not even a half of 196kHz? They want to sample the same data over and over again for just in case? If the internal processing resolution would be, for example, 48kHz, then they would use 48kHz DAC's, because any rate higher of that would be waste.

Remember that TI has two top-notch DSP's.

Edit: By the way, isnt the B/C series sampling in 96kHz...

Ok, I promised to come back with real information. I asked about this from access support and they answered:

"thanks for your mail. the default sampling rate of the Virus is 48k (which is an excellent compromise
in between voice count and quality of sounds). the new converters used sound a lot better than the
ones used in the virus b/c even though we do not use them in 192khz mode right now."

So the virus engine runs @ 48kHz as I supposed.
