These internet arguments are tiring. I just take a personal approach. So far I've decided through my own listening (some sighted some blind) that lossless 16/44 is better than Spotify (albeit slightly) but I've not heard any convincing demonstration of an audible difference between 16/44 versus hi-res despite trying.
If I were at some point to hear a convincing demonstration (probably also involving sighted and blind) of an audible difference between 16/44 versus hi-res, then I'd change my position. Simples. Check it, add to it! http://www.dr.loudness-war.info/ SB Touch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ darrenyeats's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10799 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103034 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
