A CD is 16-bit, 44.1 kHz. While some software will let you "convert" this to 24-bit, 96 kHz, it won't do anything - you can't add information that isn't there. You'll get a 24/96 file but it won't be any different than its 16/44.1 source.
There was some experimentation with 24-bit, 44.1 kHz as it pertained to HDCD (which is theoretically "20 bit" so the extra data is there). You can get 24-bit, 48 kHz off of a regular DVD. 24/96 will require ripping a DVD-A or an SACD. Both are substantially more difficult to rip than a CD since the formats are protected. There are some 24/88.2 (Linn) and 24/96 (? HDTT?) downloads out there. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33909 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
