Will try! Never thought about trying that? My guess it WON'T sound like the original 24/172 file.......
1.) If the original 16/44 file won't have the "INFO" so upsampling to 24/172 can't create "INFO". So it will sound different... 2.) Next the upsampling by a DAC via its chip set's will also affect the final output. So ii will sound different... 3.) I did used to upsampled to 96Khz not anymore once Squeeze Play can access files Hi-Rez natively. Playing the file in its native format always had more open sound. IMO.... Once again it could be my DAC causing that!!:eek: Because I master from LP's.... The hard truth is "One can't CLONE analog into digital"! All one can hope for is to recreate a very close approximation. So create and use native playback at 24/172 would be the goal, but HUGE files. I know by upsampling one is trying to smooth out the sine curve. Yet at what cost.... Since the DAC is guessing on what is should sound like.:( ------------------------------------------------------------------------ blacsno's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29362 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101023 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
