If you're interested in learning more about the quality of high resolution files please go to www.computeraudiophile.com. You will also find discussions/links on the relative quality of music files at different resolutions from 16/44.1kHz to 24/96 and higher, as well as how to setup players to optimally playback high res files. I would also direct you to the January 2009 issue of The Absolute Sound's articles on Reference Recordings' high res files and the review of the Berkeley Alpha dac. I believe that the superior quality of high resolution files in resolving systems is well documented.
Below is a partial listing of sources for High Resolution files: Reference Recordings - offers 176.4/24 HRx WAV files (DVD-R) Reference Recordings - offers 176.4/24 HRx (DVD-R) Linn Records - offers 192/24 and 96/24 or 88.2/24 FLAC files (download) 2L - offers 192/24 FLAC files & also some gratis 192/24 FLAC files Chesky Records - has 192/24 (DVD-R) Granted, the selection is still limited, but increasing. And IMHO high res files are the wave of the future. As to whether my system is resolving enough, you can be the judge: modwright transporter (digital out)> playback designs MPS5 (dac - capable of 24/192kHz) > dartzeel pre > dartzeel amp > magico v3 speakers. -- cmarin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cmarin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69882 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
