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?
Remember that TI has two top-notch DSP's.
Edit: By the way, isnt the B/C series sampling in 96kHz...

Well, many systems use 96kHz or even 196kHz converters even they don't always/never work at that frequency. It's just popular these days and the product sells better if they use converters with higher sampling rates.
Even my RME soundcard can handle 196kHz but I usually work at 44kHz.
The new clavia nord lead 2x for example uses much better converters compared to the original nord lead 2 but the synth engine is still the same.
I guess the better converters are included with TI because one can use it also as an audio interface and high sample rates are very popular today. I still don't believe that the virus engine would run @ 196kHz untill I hear it from access.
I just want to hear / read the facts. I'm not absolutely sure about the sample rate of B/C, but I will search for information and report here whenever I'll find it. I use the virus powercore plugin @ 44/48kHz and it sounds all the same as virus B desktop. I have had a Virus B and a Virus KC and I have done lots of comparing between them.
Edit.
At least the Virus TI's spdif connector works @ 44/48kHz.
I sent email to access support. We will know this soon...
