IMO yes , given given that it really is the same track ( the 16bit is derived from the same source ) . Given the hif in my sig , it has DRC tone controlls and cross overs and. EQ all done digitally . Theoretically it would benefit from a hirez source signal , it migth even be measurably so , but I have yet to find it in practice . It does not seem to reach audible levels. I've only done AB test on it no real X , simply taking my self made test tracks give the 24bit and 16bit version exactly the same tags and press the shuffle button , sometimes I have duplicated the same tracks lets say 5 hirez and 5 low res versions and shuffled and then used skip to flit arround to the next track . If I want to check what I'm listening to I can pause the playlist and go down to file details and there you can se bit and fs . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98591 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
