Ok - I’ll bite (lightly). I have a pretty resolving system. I have never subscribed to the idea that hi-res is superior from a data standpoint. Standard CD resolution can sound very, very good. In fact, I gave all my SACDs away because I no longer have a player - and some of them didn’t sound very good. However, I do periodically stream hi-res files - because they’re available. And yet, I find this video misleading - or at least incomplete if the argument is there’s no advantage to higher resolutions or sampling rates.
I have an Auralic Sirius processor in my digital stack which I set to convert all files to DSD 512. I can upconvert to PCM too but DSD sounds slightly better as it’s optimized for the DAC I have. The benefits of the Sirius processor were immediate and noticeable to any who listened A/B.
Why? Not considering that high res files may be in a different software file format (and they do sound different) higher sample rates allow the reconstruction filter to have a much gentler slope which should (so I’m told) create less interference (for lack of the proper technical term) across the wide bands presented by complex music (as opposed to a single frequency as measured in the video).
In any case, I have no idea of any of the hi-res files I listen to are superior to their standard res counterparts on input. But, the benefits of higher sample rates in reconstruction seem fairly obvious on my system.
YMMV.
