Sorry, I wasn't clear - I was comparing the sound to the standard 16-bit rips. In general HDCD's sound "better" than an average CD even at 16 bit IMHO (presumably down to the mastering process)...but EVEN better through an HDCD replay device. -- Phil Leigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 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
