You could be right, Darren. Who knows other than the folks who worked on this. But one wonders though - why would they do that? If you consider the 2009 remaster & USB release, is there any reason they would put extra time into fiddling with EQ, compression, etc. Time is money and do they actually think this was worth a separate mastering for a small release USB (which they sweetened the pot with "24-bit's!")... I think most of here intuitively know (or have literally tested for ourselves) that the difference between 24-bits and properly dithered 16-bits is marginal anyways. I'm more inclined that they knew the difference was very small, ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archimago's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2207 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98590 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
