Well I just asked for some specific examples where people had compared a CD-quality and hi-res version of the same exact source and could hear a difference. Got lots of examples of hi-res tracks people liked, but not of such comparisons. I was interested in saving myself some time selecting material to see if a difference was audible to me on my system. Clearly, though, examples are relevant only if the exact same master was used and simply encoded differently. If the masters are different, the comparison is meaningless because I have quite a few CDs from different master that can sound extremely different. Where did you purchase the different versions of the two examples you cited in what I quoted? So far I haven't done any terribly serious listening tests, and my system has undergone a number of changes over the last month, so I still don't feel familiar enough with its sound to engage in reliable tests yet. I did decide that people's suggestions to use SOX to downsample 24/96 material is probably a good one to isolate the encoding as the sole source of the any audible differences. Will try to get around to that soon, after looking for best parameters to use. -- ncarver ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ncarver's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15905 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82067 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
