In Reply to: ZS KEKL, Frank and Non-A have you guys heard any Audiophile DVD-Audio's? posted by Teresa on February 12, 2005 at 17:18:39:
Both the Parsons and several DAD's besides several DVD Audio's with 192ks tracks.On my system good 24/48 mixes sound as good as 24/96 (or 192)
You can keep nagging about this but 24/48 is hires.
The resolution is in the bits.96 and 192 just have higher frequency range although it hardly usefull for reissues from analog masters.
I have no doubt that new 24/96 digital recordings have a slight edge.
Lo res:
Compact Casette
Vinylmid res
redbook pcm
dsd above 10kHzhires
1" analog tape
24/48 digital
dsd below 10kHz
24/192
24/96 digitalThe jury's is out on 24/192 as most concerters show less signal to noise ratio and less dynamic range because of internal noise issues on dac chips at higher clock rates.
