Yes. Vinyl has dynamic range equivalent to only about 12 bits resolution and frequency response that while extended at low levels beyond 20 KHz, has so much inherent distortion above 12 KHz that it actually sounds better with less frequency response than 44 KHz sampling provides. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106935 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
