I'm not even quite sure how to phrase my question, but here it goes...


So my DAC has LED's for 44, 96, 176 and so forth. I tried to get an understanding on how the different bit rates affect quality, but quickly became confused with bit depth, Flac files, Redbook and other terminology which all plays into the equation.
Can anyone point me to a dumb-down, digital for dummies kind of resource?
Thank you.

My DAC always IDs the Tidal "CD" quality as 44.1k and Master / MQA shows up as 96k....    either way it sounds great in my opinion, and like bob said, very program dependent....  I think I will do a trial Qobuz script to A / B....  My Vault is the new age equivalent of a transport....   I always loved CDs,  I like owning the physical disc...   i was very apprehensive about streaming and products like the Vault and Node....  it took a while for me to jump on the bandwagon but that thing changed the way I listen to music for the better.
