Don't generalize! There are plenty of really bad and completely worthless high resolution releases available. In the worse cases all they do is upsample the CD master to "make" it high resolution. And what happens with all those early all digital recordings which were recorded at 16bit and a maximum of 48kHz? Not to mention some of the choices for what recordings get the high resolution audiophile treatment which is more often than not merely a question of licensing. There are quite a few audiophile releases which leave me scratching my head wondering what makes this POS worthy of an audiophile release? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98044 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
