I thought I was the only "audiophile" to not be impressed with 24/96 sound! I have found much better sound improvement from fairly simple and relatively inexpensive tweaks. For me, substituting solid core silver wiring in my t-amp has improved the sound of my "paltry" 16 bit music collection to a similar degree as to what many reviewers find in their comparisons between 16bit and "high res" sources. "Improved staging, better separation of instruments, better clarity, like a veil was lifted".
Until or unless all 16 bit music is remastered in 24bit and offered for download over the internet I don't see myself getting too excited about it. I would probably buy all my Beatles stuff again if it was available for download in remastered 24bit, because its just part of the audiophile hobby and pursuit. Why play 16 bit when 24 is available? Right now 24bit is not available so its really a non issue unless you a classical or jazz fan. Its fun to think about and talk about just like it's fun to talk about the difference between upsampleing and oversampling. -- earwaxer Waxer Transporter Winsome labs mouse (modified) Maggie MMG's (modified) JPS Labs power cords Audioquest Granite speaker wire Silver Bullet interconnect HSU research sub ------------------------------------------------------------------------ earwaxer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32040 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66761 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
