Howdy, I try to avoid posting in this forum because audiophiles have (some very good) arguments for why scientific data should not be the end-all-be-all for listening quality, but I'm a scientific-method guy and so I must point out that in ABX tests almost no one can tell the difference between 48khz and 96khz especially at 24bits. See http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=40134 for more info. The human ear simply isn't capible of determining the difference and companies that say differently are typically trying to sell you new "better" product.
There are -so- many possible areas for noise/interference to influence the audio signal (even with high-end audio equipment) once its converted to analog that maintaining a library at 96khz just isn't worth it (in terms of components, storage and overally hassle) even for audiophiles. I'd bet (unscientifically) that your equipment is adding -way- more "error" to what you are listening to than the difference between 96khz and 48khz in the recording. ss. -- street_samurai ------------------------------------------------------------------------ street_samurai's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=199 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23796 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
