- No, you'll have up to 50kHz playback. The D/A converter is a two-channel
- (stereo) converter that operates up to 50kHz and a built-in multiplexer
- handles mixing the 8 channels down to 2 channels before it's input to
- the D/A converter for output.

- Some more info has recently been posted on GEnie concerning the digital
- audio on the Falcon, but I haven't read it yet, so I'll post the
- essentials, if any, later.
