Shows the change in dynamic range using a 24 bit 44.1kHz files compared to 16 bit, using WMP + plugin* to create a wav/FLAC (that could be played on Sb3). It's not proven this is equal to what a hardware decoder can do, and HDCD capable external digital converters are flooding the used market right now. Contrary to that idea, however, the Levinson 360 is one commonly available DAC that does do the decoding in a DSP chip (software), so I suppose WMP could very well be getting it right. *http://www.chronotron.com/content.php?page=downloads -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32967 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
