I have some Minidisc's I want to remove the music from, and remembered why they were supposed to be superior to CD's, due to the high freq rate 48KHz, which brought me to this interesting question...
I don't have a 48KHz snd card in my PC, i.e SBLIVE etc..
so playing these mp3's(320kbps 48KHz) I can detect a noticable Hiss, how does the EMPEG cope with 48KHz MP3's? anyone notice a hiss?
I am unable to test it at this moment.

cheers,
Jaidev
