I just can't imagine Logitech expending the effort to come out with a 24/192 playback device. They are a consumer products company and seem to have little interest in chasing the super-audiophile end of the market.
While the Transporter is still available, it seems to be in a wind-down phase of "OK, you can stick around as long as you don't cause any trouble." I just can't see them upgrading its capability from the current 24/96. The one credible argument that I've seen for 24/192 is on the recording and mixing side. When multi-track levels are adjusted dramatically during the mixing phase, you can get an unwanted increase in background noise at the lower resolutions. However, once the mix is set, any advantage between 24/96 and 24/192 for playback of the final release probably exists more in the minds of consumers and record company marketing types. However, no one who buys a product ever needs to justify their preference to a third party. We are perfectly entitled to want what we want without having to "prove it" to anyone else. Every hobby has products that are marketed to those at that end of the spectrum; it's not just an audio thing. Now if one is doing research into human hearing or fundamental product development, testing and proof become important issues that help guide design priorities and advance understanding. That's a whole different world than audiophiles debating what they can and cannot hear in their own systems. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74688 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
