I don´t want to argue to much about sound, cause i did no intensive testing to back anything up.
I once played intensively with a 24/96 file when my Transporter was new. Back then i used Naoki Shibatas SSRC cause it was the only easy to use free resampler. Today with a resampler like sox around it may be even less obvious. But one thing i can confirm what iphone says. The highs really seem to loose some fine detail when going from a high sampling rate to 44.1kHz. To me it sounded a tiny bit harder, loosing some micro information but not really different. My magnetostatic tweeters are pretty revealing there. On some recordings that may lead to a better sound/imaging. My bass isn´t that good in my room so there i can´t comment much. Where i never was able to hear any difference was on the HDCDs with peak extension i decoded to 20bit and dithered back to 16. So no resampling involved. Thats why i am that sceptic about the Beatles remaster box in 24/44.1 flac sounds any better as the CDs. -- Wombat Transporter -> RG142 -> Avantgarde based monoblocks -> Sommer SPK240 -> self-made speakers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wombat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4113 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72861
