A spanner in the works is that so many "hi res" tracks are not really hirez either they have analog origin or are fakes ,upsampled 16/44.1 , or if the track has been mastered with typical modern " loudness war methods " no subtleties will be audible .
So pick your best tracks if you ever try , some of them might be from "audiophile labels" expect to be bored to tears . Boston audio society did an interesting thing they inserted a 16bit AD converter and 16bit DAC into existing systems with an hirez player with an abx test box . Test subjects could then listen to thier hirez files or SACD's or DVDA and flick the switch and try to detect if hey where in the ad/da loop or listened directly to,the player . This actually test more thannthe files ( or less ) but is interesting . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
