Agreed 100%! I do suspect that any sonic improvements using this app with lower samplerates are imaginary - but who knows, maybe I'm missing extra-golden ears. It's easy to imagine improvements when there are none - I've been caught out in the past (suckered in by silly speaker wire claims!) and have been extremely cautious ever since. A classic example is hearing an improvement with 24/192 over 24/96. With most cheaper-end or mid-end DACs (which many here, including me, will be using) 24/192 can actually be WORSE than 24/96 or 24/88.2 due to artefacts introduced into the audible range as a result of poor handling of the extra data in the -inaudible- range. And yet people will almost always report audible improvements. But show me a single double-blind test that proves anyone can genuinely hear an improvement in 24/192 - bet you can't! The reason I installed this app is due to claims of reduced load on the processor. That is a measurable, verifiable improvement therefore worth taking, especially if playing through the SB Tiny server. I'll be experimenting with increasing the number of files the Touch can see (i.e. not hidden in folders starting with a ".") to see how far I can push it now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dave1972's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44446 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94855 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
