But the original Q is also a bit futile as the transporter only supports 24/96 so 24/192 downsampled by the server anyway ? To 24/96 .
So the choice is to buy 24/96 downsample 192 k files yourself or let LMS do it for you . Sonically the end result will be the same . Personally i opted for not buying anything >24/96 as we are well past the piont where it would make any difference to a human listener . So 24/96 is the limit for me . And yes if I downsample my 24/96 files to 16/44 they sound exactly the same . And of course a dvda 24/96 of the same recording does in some cases sound different than my cd version but the "24/96" has nothing to do with it . Buy the best master you can get of your fav recording , but this does not corelate to the media it can be the LP , CD. Or Hirez version that is the best .
