It's debatable whether mathematics should be considered science, but otherwise I agree. > I've been looking, and I have seen zero science that says there is > anything delivered in hi-res commercial recordings that can be detected > > by humans. Yeah, I don't think there is any. Moreover what we know of human hearing says the difference shouldn't be audible. So anyone that thinks otherwise has the burden of proof on them (IMO), and the failure of hi-res formats is probably at least in part due to the fact that they don't actually sound any better than redbook. rhizomaticon;290526 Wrote: > I respect your opions -- you guys have far more experience with computer > audio than I.

I have to ask you again - did you set slimserver not to transcode WAV to FLAC when you did these listening tests? -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45839 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
