Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

Buy the CEntrance, you and any of your family won't regret it.
(EDIT: If you have the funds, I would also recommend looking into the Slim's regular model: the CEntrance Dacport HD. It has even greater output specs if you're looking for something to keep for a long while into the future)
This dovetails with my own personal experience across a dozen different DAC/amp/headphone/driver setups, in and out of a studio; there's no improvement in quality going from 96KHz to 192KHz, and even 96KHz sometimes sounds worse than 48KHz when using amplifiers/DACs ill-equipped to handle the higher sample rate (a lot of cheaper stuff seems to be built assuming that using a DAC chip supporting 96/192KHz is the only thing you have to change from a 48KHz design)
anyway my point is that while you're going to notice a difference in sound quality between the E10K and the CEntrance Slim, the sample rate / bit depth isn't going to be the thing responsible for it.
Thanks for pointing it out and going into the details for those who might be unaware.
