Just listen. Lots of hi- res releases are transcribed from vinyl. And lots of "old" recordings were very good recordings, and the digital transcriptions sound great and are more revealing than the original. "Dynamics" mean several things, you referred to one. That's only one of the advantages of 24/96 recordings. And yes, you can hear the differences when listening to a jazz quartet on my miserable little 2 way floorstanders. Again, just listen. Throw out all the numbers you want at me, some of the hi-res transcriptions sound fantastic. I even pointed out specific aspects of a 24/44.1 recording that are superior to the redbook version. Since the Beatles remasters were also transcribed from tape and are also from the same time period as "A Love Supreme", I guess they can't sound better, either. And no, I didn't "properly downsample" it to compare. Why would I? If you want to do that, spend your time doing it. I listened to the two versions and can hear differences. And finally: don't write, listen. I always love it on these forums when people make such strong statements about a topic that involves LISTENING to something, when they haven't done the listening. -- firedog Tranquil PC fanless WHS server running SqueezeServer; SB Touch slaved to Empirical Audio Pace Car; KRK Ergo, MF V DAC3, MF X-150 amp, Devore Gibbon Super 8 Speakers; Mirage MS-12 sub; Dual 506 + Ortofon 20 (occasional use); sometimes use PC with M-Audio 192 as digital source.
