It's an opinion backed-up by many people's practical experience. The only real push behind 24/96 or 24/192 as a playback format in the home comes from: 1) the hardware industry who want to sell the "latest and greatest" must-have upgrade 2) the software industry who want to (re)sell us the same old stuff again and again, usually at inflated "high res" prices. In controlled listening tests it has proved simply impossible to reliably or accurately discriminate between the SAME 24/96 or 24 /192 MASTER played back at 24/96 or 24/192 or correctly downsampled to 24/44.1 or 24/48. If you can find proof otherwise then I'd be delighted to examine it, as I'm sure would plenty of other folks around here. I fully appreciate that a lot of people simply don't believe the above statement. That doesn't make it untrue. 24/96+ has many benefits during recording/mastering. As a home delivery/playback format... none have yet been identified by anyone other than hardware/software manufacturers and some self-appointed "golden-eared" journalists. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
