Focus on 24/192 Misguided?.....


As I've upgraded by digital front end over the last few years, like most people I've been focused on 24/192 and related 'hi rez' digital playback and music to get the most from my system. However, I read this pretty thought provoking article on why this may be a very bad idea:

Maybe it's best to just focus on as good a redbook solution as you can, although there seem to be some merits to SACD, if for nothing else the attention to recording quality.

i disagree with the article and the premiss behind it. nonsense sounds about right. i have nothing to offer in dispute of it except three years of listening to hi res (burned dvd's and streaming). the improved sound quality of hi res has been obvious to me in my set-up (given well recorded music from the start).

if you're not sold on hi-res.....fine. just don't tell me what i hear isn't for real and i'm "wrong".
