The most recent issue of MIX MAGAZINE had an article where they did double-blind listening tests between 24bit/96kHz stereo and 16bit/44.1kHz stereo. The results based on demographic is quite interesting, but it really comes down to the fact that you could guess which one you were listening to by the toss of a coin...no one knew for sure. 50% of the time, listeners were correct but they couldn't tell you why.
Anyway, interesting article, yet I'd LOVE to hear a test between 192k and 44.1k!! Of the engineers I've talked to, most say that's where you hear the difference. 96k just isn't enough of a difference to warrant the disk space and bandwidth. Of course, we're talking 24bit in ALL cases!! If CDs could ever move to 24bit/44.1k... -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego - [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Mac MINI server w/ 500GB external - Multiple SB3s and Transporter Tannoy and Genelec Bi & Tri-Amped Studio Monitors - 5.1 Surround Recording Engineer/Producer since 1971 - Member AES, SPARS, SMPTE and NARAS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Seaberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7896 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45839 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
