Nope definitely 24bit 88.2KHz FLAC files ripped directly from the SACD two channel layer, streaming from my Squeezebox Touch into the Bushmaster DAC... I have got a 24bit 96KHz MFSL vinyl rip here that I might compare to see any notable differences.

You mean the countdown aye I can hear it, admittedly not as well as my headphone set-up but it's there, I prefer the background "details" on Day in the Life, now they are difficult to hear and my Hifi doesn't pick them out, but it does a good job with the saturated tape and creaking chair on the piano ending.
