Yes 16/44 is plenty, and we deserve more recordings that... uh... deserve it.
Based on my reading, even the best human platinum ears can not hear beyond 20/44. Again, in some extreme border cases arguably the quantification error is the issue, and not the sampling frequency (Nyquist nailed that one). But I have not EVER heard of ONE scientifically conducted test that ever remotely indicates any human on the planet would benefit from anything beyond 20/44... and most stuff we get in 16/44 doesn't remotely deserve it, thanks music industry... ...pablo Server: Virtual Machine (on VMware Workstation 12) running Ubuntu 16.04 + LMS 7.9 System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- Totem Element Fire Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Classic-> NAD D7050 -> Totem DreamCatcher + Velodyne Minivee Sub Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado PS500e/Shure 1540 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 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
