Yes it's hard to know if it is the same master , some of the aviable HD files from other vendors seems to be in some cases a better master than the usual CD version or at least a different version , if you pay it got to be different rigth ;). Archimago who frequent these forums did a public blind test . http://archimago.blogspot.it/2014/06/24-bit-vs-16-bit-audio-test-part-ii.html In which many from here participated . What you can do as a blir test ( it really has to be blind otherwise any conclusion drowns in our usual very human biases ) . Is to make 16/44.1 versions of some of your own 24/96 files then you know it's the same master . I tried that on several ocasion and can not hear a difference , you may notice my investment in DVDA ready equipment :/ Another thing to think of if you want to test this is to use modern very well made digital recordings not an old noisy tape from the 1970's normal reedbook cd is more than capable of encoding that . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
