Not much difference in Rock tracks. If the 44/16 is made from the same master as the 96/24, its almost impossible to tell the difference with Rock. Classical and Jazz one has a much better chance. And even a bigger chance if the 44/16 and 96/24 are not of the same master and the 96/24 is really well engineered. IMO, that is where 96/24 shines. 96/24 really shows the guys that know their stuff. What I mean by that is that a 96/24 of a bad recording really shows quickly its a bad engineering job. The less crowded stuff can get one used to listening to/for the difference. Material like a solo or single instrument or a trio. Try Reference Recordings for ideas. They have a killer library and resolutions up to 176.4/24. Direct to Digital is another go area to find high quality well engineered 96/24 recordings as they are direct masters with no messing with the signals IE what one would call a DD CD not DDD because there is no middle D for what state the mixing was as there is no mixing. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81634 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
