Recent lossy codecs are already floating point and have no bit depth in a way PCM wavs have. So if you feed them with 24bit files and no higher sampling rate i doubt the files will be different much cause the psycho-acoustic will leave the music content below the noise floor of 16bit away already most of the time. -- 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=85879 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
