    Arrrgh, after another couple of hours to various sony employees, I still don't have an answer...

    I want to know at what frequencies/bit depth the SZ can PLAY and RECORD at?

    44.1kHz/16bit (obviously)
    48kHz/16bit (obviously)
    48kHz/24bit (possibly)
    96kHz/16bit (nfi)
    96kHz/24bit (nfi)
    192kHz/16bit (nfi)
    192kHz/24bit (nfi)

    This chipset seems to be "designed for musicians" as stated by Sony and does work reasonably well with its ASIO drivers, but I just can't get a clear answer from Sony on the specs.

    Any info from you guys would be much appreciated!

    if you are serious about recording, I can't imagine you wouldn't use external converters....

    Still worth knowing for a quick fix on the fly... like playing back a clip in high fidelity by plugging it into a quality stereo for someone to hear...

    It's more the frustration of Sony themselves not knowing the specs of their own damn machine, makes me all twitchy!

    just google the chipset... i can't imagine it won't play up to 192khz for just playback
