I can tell you the difference can be heard in some very specific cases. But it is so subtle that, when just listening en enjoying the music, the difference can be considered void. For example, listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Tim Pan Alley". At one point he sings "I heard a pistol shoot - yeah, it was a .44". You can here the different in the instrumental crescendo there if you listen very carefully. The 24/96 has a bit more bite there than it's downsampled 16/44 variant as converted for a SB receiver. But you'ld have to listen very, very carefully to be able to spot the difference. When just enjoying the music instead of searching for these things, thus for all practical purposes, the differences are nil. NB: hardware I checked this on consists of a SB touch & SB duet receiver + XTZ Class A 100 D3 amplifier + Elac FS-247 SE speakers, using digital inputs of the receiver. YMMV. -- Griffin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Griffin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85879 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
