Yes the limit is biological/biomechanical , any improvement are likely to come from improved studio equipment, no equipment i know of have come close the "limit" implied by 24bit for example 144dB sn ratio . So the format is also transparent to all audio equipment used ,it is better than stuff we use to record and playback with of-course in the frequency domain we can do "better" (or rather more ) ,but that just a waste as here the biological limits of our hearing sets in ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69882 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
