Sorry if these are dumb questions but I don't quite get it;
I have equipment capable of 24/192 but where do I find music recorded at this high resolution? I don't have SACD capability so I am stuck with PCM.
I understand DVD-A is sometimes 2 channel at this rez but you can't rip it to a pc at high rez because of copy right limitations?
I though Music Giants.com was high rez but they just say in their FAQ section that they are CD quality - I assume it is still 16/44?
When people say they have pc files at 24/96, where did they get them? Are these their own digitized analog files?
Will I realistically ever be able hto download 24/96 files to my computer?
BAsically I am trying to figure out to go Sonos or pc/sound card. the sound card is high res capable but if I can't get source material and have to play DVDA through a seperate DVD player,what's the point?
Thanks

Google is a better solution than asking someone here to explain the entire topic to you. We were all newbies once.

1. DVD-Video supports 24/96 in stereo. There are a few of those out there, sometimes called DAD.
2. DVD-Audio supports 24/96 multi-channel and stereo and 24/192 stereo. I don't know about the new video formats, but I think they probably also support these.
3. I understand a few DVD-Audios are unencrypted and can be ripped, but most of them cannot. DVD-Video has been cracked and 24/96 stereo DVD-V can be ripped to a computer.
4. Don't know anything about Music Giants.
5. I would assume most people have digitized analog files. But there are also people who do live band recording in 24/96 and these circulate freely and legally on the Internet. Jam bands often allow amateur recording at their concerts.
6. You can download these today, if you like these live band concerts mentioned above. See archive.org. If you like different kinds of music, I don't you will see these anytime soon. The hi-rez formats have not yielded very many releases.
