I have heard 16bit/44.1Khz that is as good as any other high-resolution. I think it all depends on the mic'ing techniques and the equipment used to record. To actually, compare low vs hi-res it is always good to downsample the high-res to low-res and then compare (instead of using a different low res recording). Usually, the high-res recordings are made with more care, better equipment and that is where the improvement comes from usually (my opinion). Quite likely beyond 24bit/48Khz there is any improvement. If at all there is, it is probably due to implementation reasons (the high-res bits taking a different path in the system than the low res) vs actual improvement from real resolution changes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SoftwireEngineer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7000 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97950 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
