So your real question was is it worth it not if one can hear a difference?
That is a different question with a different answer. I say only if your system can take advantage of the additional resolution. And if one doesn't have a Touch or Transporter to play them in native 96/24, I am of the opinion of why bother. To me they are worth it if the master they are made from is well engineered, a great recording, and not Rock IE Jazz or Classical. Again better then having the Red Book 44/16 if ones system is up for it. If one only has a Duet and a Boom, I say ripping Red Book CDs and buying standard FLAC downloads is all one needs to buy. And Phil has a great suggestion, I always seem to forget about Linn. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81634 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
