RE: I didn't bother to argue, because there's nothing to argue about.

I tried that very test though I think I downsampled to 48k instead of 44.1.

I didn't hear any reliable difference when I was honest and attempted to self-blind as well as possible. And I re-upsampled back to the original sampling rate so that the DAC was running electrically in the same configuration so the difference was exclusively the effect of the sampling procedures.

If there was any difference, it was way below my threshold of caring.

I was disappointed as I wanted to move to a great new world of increased awesomeness beyond what I had.

I imagine there's an advantage to higher bit depths & sampling rates when there's any kind of DSP as it puts the range of some implementation artifacts out of audibility.

Anyway I now care about recording mastering quality much more.

That you would dismiss it without even listening is hardly surprising. - Ugly 08:00:08 07/03/15 (2)
