? I was under the impression that majority of the eventual improvement is in the increased bith depth ? As this would increase the signal content that we stand a chance to hear. I know what a brick wall fillter is, but this is nowdays only a factor during recording then the frequency must be high to avoid that,. But for playback at home most modern DAC's have massive oversampling so for playback this is not really a problem anymore. But 24/96 would be a good consumer standard if it came to that, as maybe 44.1 is a little to low but it don't need to be 96 and maybe more than 16bit is needed, but again not as much as 24bit . So this would be all you can eat with some error margin built in . trivia, a part off the DVDA standard I never seen in practical use was that you could have different bith deth and sample rate for different channels so theoretically if you did an 5.1 dvda and wanted to save some disc space you could have 20/48 for the rear channels or what ever, 192k was only allowed for pure 2ch otherwise you could mix between all rates. Even if like the 24/96 format it would be hard to motivate 24/96 for the LFE channel ? If they want hifi why not reintroduce multichannel music again ? as dvda an d sacd had. This works very well it's not a gimmick (unless the producers of the record make it soo ), but as when stereo was introduced they where Luddites claiming that mono was better too. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
