so why have I yet to hear a good sound DVD-Audio or SACD from a 48kHz 24 Bit Master? - Teresa 21:00:28 02/15/05 (13)

Your equipment... - Frank.. 06:01:47 02/16/05 (12)

If 96kHz and 192kHz sounds more revealing and realistic than 48kHz - Teresa 10:10:20 02/16/05 (11)

No. - Frank.. 13:50:34 02/16/05 (10)

Sorry Frank I do not want equipment that CLOUDS OVER my 96kHz and 192kHz DVD-As to make them sound as poor as 48kHz - Teresa 14:28:19 02/16/05 (9)

Your system doing a poor job on the lower sample rates. - Frank.. 01:01:18 02/17/05 (1)

Not so and my "mind set" is based on how DVD-Audio's and SACDs from 24 Bit 48kHz Masters actually sound. - Teresa 09:05:12 02/17/05 (0)

Higher sample rate is no guarantee of superior sound - unaffiliated 15:16:10 02/16/05 (6)
