That's a pretty poor experiment; they fail or refuse to specify the equipment used, which would be sufficient to disqualify them from publication in a more rigorous journal. I have indeed compared cd, sacd, downloaded 16/44 and downloaded 24/96 of the same music, for example http://www.linnrecords.com/recording-mozart-symphonies.aspx. I only have a squeezebox duet, so the 24/96 will have been downsampled to 24/48; my cd player and duet go through the same DAC, but I can only listen to the SACD layer directly from the player. There are clear, obvious differences between the versions. Why don't you try? -- JezA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JezA's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21219 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60665 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
