I've done this. Using commercially released material is pointless as you will see - its lineage is unknown...
Record an acoustic Guitar and vocal performance using a Neumann U87 and Focusrite ISA430 Mic Pre-Amp onto a properly aligned an maintained Studer A80 1/2 inch 2-track. Play the tape back simultaneously through two Apogee converters (AD16 I think), one running at 24/96 and the other at 24/192 and capture to disk using Sonar. You now have the perfect test material to prove if 24/96 is audibly different to 24/192. Playback the files via a 24/192 DAC. Can you hear ANY difference? Can you pass a DBT? I can't and when I did this test a while ago no-one else we tried with could either. Unfortunately I don't have the files or equipment to repeat this experiment anymore. Other people on the Audiophile forum do. Maybe they could oblige? -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
