Blind ABX tests have proven that people can hear the difference between 16 bit and higher rez formats..... on a silent section of a track with the volume cranked (so the difference in 16 bit quantization noise was audible). Other than that, no. I did a calculation a while ago on this forum which showed that changing the 24th bit on even a very powerful system corresponds to a change in SPL that's smaller than the fluctuations due to Brownian motion of air molecules - far, far below the threshold of human hearing. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57413 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
