Good luck finding something with a dynamic range of greater that 144 dB. Typcially dither is not applied to 24-bit files, as the quantizing distortion on such a file is buried far beneath the noise floor.
The main useful difference between 48 KHz and 96 KHz is that 96 KHz can use a reconstruction filter with a much gentler slope, which would typically have superior sonic characteristics. Modern DACs achieve most of the benefits of higher sampling rates by using oversampling digital reconstruction filters. -- Timothy Stockman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timothy Stockman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41144 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
