You are still missing the point. The difference you heard has NOTHING to do with one file being hi-res. It is the mastering process. Your original point was that hi-res files sound better. When Phil downsampled the hi-res file it sounded the same as the hi-res because it was from the same master. I am not contradicting myself. Honestly, please read carefully and think about what has been posted. -- tomjtx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomjtx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82870 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
