Apple lossless -vs-24/96


I have amassed quite a bit of an itunes library and just recently got a wadia151 that I absolutely love! I have converted all my files to apple lossless at 16 bit 44.1khz. Would I benefit from 24/96 since my 151 is capable of that? If so how would I do it?

You would need to re-rip the CDs using something like dbPowerAmp. But I fail to see how taking a 16-bit, 44.1kHz file and then padding it to produce a 24-bit, 96kHz version would provide any benefit at all.

Your time and effort would probably be much better spent seeking out and purchasing files that are already encoded at 24 bits and 96 kHz. And your system would *surely* sound better no matter what source material you use if you were to spend your time and money improving the speaker/room interface...
