In my extremely guarded and personal experience (which is, from what I hear, protected by the Constitution as well as UNESCO), high definition audio formats do bring noticeable improvement in the sound quality over the red book format, but mostly with regards to offering 24 bit as opposed to 16 bit depth. The sampling rate appears to matter less. For example, while it gets very easy for me to discern between a 24 bit FLAC and the same FLAC dithered down to 16 bit, I am having serious difficulties discerning between the 24 bit/96 kHz FLAC and the same FLAC downsampled to 24 bit/44.1 kHz. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83976 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
