My experience is it depends on the original master recording and the competency of the remastering engineer.
I've suffered through some 'high-res' releases that sounded worse than the 25 year old Redbook pressing of it. This can be even more pronounced with older masters where no care is taken. I think there is a rush to fleece sometimes with the 24-bit lure. I still favor a top vinyl copy over even a fair 24-bit transfer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sgmlaw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13995 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108499 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
