It seems that the industry still hasn't come with a meaningful standard
definition of Hi Res, so we will continue to see marketing hype for so
called Hi Res material. Dr Mark Waldrep sums up the industry approach
nicely in an excerpt from his post CES blog

This falls in the "heavy sigh" category for me. The vast majority of
recordings, even classical, get nowhere near to using the full dynamic
range of the 16/44.1 format as it is, which is already a good 30 dB
better than what the highly vaunted vinyl LP is capable of.
Well recorded CDs are

Interesting discussion about Roon. I've thought about getting that at
times for the simple reason of the expanded database and info. It would
be interesting to know more about the recording and artists, but I'm
so-so about the trivia aspect of music info, as in the drummer on this
album played on
My limited experience with room correction is comprised of the Audessy
DSP in my Marantz HTR. it came with a microphone and a cardboard stand
which a set up in the primary listening position and ran the set up.
Based on how much better the surround sound sounds compared with the
older Marantz

On the integration front I can see the benefit of Roon but I'd only ever
want it via an iPad app - preferably built in to iPeng - I don't want to
have to have a PC on to access the data.

It is indeed high resolution - noise. And no, it doesn't matter - you
won't hear a difference, at least not blind.
I keep asking for examples of commercial recordings with a dynamic range
exceeding 16 bits, and I still haven't found one.

I knew there'd be great replies here.
I can't agree more about keeping relying on Amazon, iTunes or Spotify as
guardians of my music collection. I have bought video on Amazon
outright, only to see it disappear when the studio and Amazon have a
spat - often permanently. And did Amazon notify me

For example, if I click on the "Miles Ahead" album, it pulls up the
basic info and tracks, etc. Then I click on credits and it gives me all
sorts of info on who played, etc. My pics don't do a good job of
capturing the actual interface, which is full screen, but you get the
idea. And you can

My two cents: binaural recording or similar techniques for audio and
video. Not room correction, but "bubbles of sound" or similar immersive
systems.

The 24/44.1 recordings i analysed lately with a typical DR8 or lower use
maybe 12-14bit for music the rest is noise. The usable resolution above
the noisefloor does not change even when they sell you 32bit.

Lately I've been seeing quite a bit of 24bit/44.1kHz recordings (aka
files) being promoted as high resolution audio. Since going from
16bit/44.1kHz to 24bit/44.1kHz would only change the AVAILABLE dynamic
range of a given recording, as opposed to actually increasing or even
changing the dynamic
My two cents:
Room correction and DSP along with "one box" powered speakers will
slowly become the norm.
Internet based music streaming will soon become the disaster that
internet based video streaming has become. The simple reason for this is
that all the big content providers HATE streaming
Interesting topic. Hard to see the future, but I don't see things
changing much for me.
1. I've tried digital room correction and it didn't really change things
much or really seem worth the effort. Maybe I'm like you and am fairly
lucky to already have decent acoustics.
