Excellent post! I agree that the main drawbacks to 24/192 (and at times even 24/96) are lack of available and worthwhile recordings, excessively high prices and the "wtf" factor of trying to make something which is standard resolution into high resolution by simply up-converting (which is exactly what was done with the "Tusk" recording). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95872 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
