My point is that i am fed up with reading about how much superior 24bit material is. I listen gear since a while now. I listen some very expensive Avantgarde Trio systems for example. I hear different OP Amps and electrolyts. I hear different caps in my speakers pretty clearly and so on. But i really have problems hearing differences in a good downsampled version of a 24bit file. Most often people just use a 24bit recording they got hold of and listen it against some 16bit version they have without even thinking about it may be more due to the different mastering and not the bits. I myself think to hear some more relaxed playing on music with higher samplerate. Downsampling just adds that tiny bit of hardness but not like day and night. Dithering back 24bit to 16 without resampling, as with HDCD for example didn´t show me any disadvantage at all but i don´t listen at +120dB loudness at home :) -- 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=72852
