It may well be that the 24bit version was mastered differently than the 16bit version.
The true test would be to take the 24 bit version, cut it down to 16 bit (with proper dithering etc.), and then run a blind comparison between that and the unmodified 24 bit version. I'm willing to bet money that no one will be able to tell the difference (except possibly by cranking the volume on a silent part and listening to the noise). -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72852 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
