It's pretty unlcear whether it's possible to distinguish 24 from properly dithered 16, at least for music. Does anyone know of any controlled tests verifying this? The closest I've seen is here: http://ff123.net/24bit/24bitanalysis.html Certainly there are test tones for which it's possible, and if you don't mind risking your hearing (in other words listen to something with a huge dynamic range and turn it way up at the quiet parts) it might even be possible for music. But under ant kind of normal listening conditions, it's doubtful. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34379 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
