i'll give that a go, but as i said: i have better than average hearing for my age (measured), and i can't tell the difference between 24bit and 16bit on totally first generation stuff i've recorded myself, of my own band - all sorts of material. and if you can hear above 17kHz, which is where the filters on 44kHz equipment start to break down, i'll be very impressed. (have you tried any kind of actual quantitative tests of single tones at listening volumes around that frequency?) now, digital effects processing: there are lots of good reasons to work above 44kHz. but most decent effects do internal oversampling anyway, so it's not really a valid point these days. -- dub3000 http://remaincalm.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dub3000's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60973 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
