I've just run the 24-bit USB version of Come Together vs the 16-bit remaster (ripped as 44.1/24 with DBP).
The diff is -81dB (or about 13.5 bits) The difference file boosted by 50dB is full of random noise as you'd expect but the track is still there within the noise - words and music clearly discernible. I'd say that equates to a potentially audible difference for some people. The 24-bit version sure sounds better to me too.... and no it's not the 0.203dB of gain that makes me feel that :-) -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
