opaqueice: Of the recordings you list, at least the two Murray Perahia cds, the Pink Floyd cd and the Steely Dan Gaucho are 20 - 30 year old recordings mastered on analogue tape. They are most certainly neither hi-res 24/96 or DSD recordings, so how you can draw any conclusions about 24/96 or DSD from listening to them is beyond me.
A far simpler experiment is to take a genuine 24/whatever recording and play it through a system, then down-sample it and play it through exactly the same system. It is very easy to do. Not that even downsampling is necessarily straightforward - musicians ears don't always agree with the theory: http://www.stereophile.com/reference/104law/index.html But why choose between nails and blankets when you can have the hi-res master? -- JezA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JezA's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21219 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60973 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
