op,
I do not have the "ear" that many of the established long time members here have. My system is resolving enough for me to clearly hear quite a difference between standard 16/44 and 24/96. At my skill level the move from 24/96 to 24/192 is much harder for me to pick out. That is my honest answer. I am 54 and do not have the ears of a 30 year old anymore. I think the original source material plays a large part. IMO a quality DAC with an excellent analogue stage is a very wise decision. Money well spent. Cheers.
