When you play it back as 24/192 and your DAC plays it native your system plays back all this noise. This not like noise shaped dither for PCM looks like, you don´t need that huge amounts. It may be the rest of DSD noise-shaping. It seems since these Hires vendors know you have fancy tools to look at the spectral view of the downloads you buy they play with the shape of the noise while converting to please some audiophile thinking. One thing you should wonder is IF your system really sounds different with this kind of HF noise why this is. It may be faulty hardware then. -- Wombat Transporter (modded) -> RG142 -> Avantgarde Acoustic based 500VA monoblocks -> Sommer SPK240 -> self-made speakers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wombat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4113 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88056
