In Reply to: RE: Higher "Rez" Seems to Offer Lower Overall Quality posted by erik_sq on October 11, 2016 at 11:46:10
The Mytek DAC plays Redbook as well as High rez.
If that's true comparing the same recording using 16/44 vs. a true high resolution format, I would replace it.
My point is, we are each attributing cause/effect in opposite ways, without any real way to resolve the discrepancy at this time.
Ask any engineer who has compared the same feed captured in 16/44 vs 24/96 or 24/192. Like inmate Tony Lauck who has participated in this thread. He is both an engineer and music lover and creates his own recordings.
Ask him if he thinks that the Redbook standard is audibly identical to higher resolutions. :)
Follow Ups:
I could ask a thousand recording engineers.
What they could not tell me is which of the two issues are true:
1 - DAC's play Hi Rez files better because there's more data.
2 - DAC's play Hi Rez files better because the DAC's are performing differently.
If they listened to the Mytek, they may come to the belief that 2 is correct. If the ARC, that 1.
For me, Mytek has fixed Redbook. You say It's broken Hi Rez. :)
By the way, I find the Mytek superior to the DAC 8 in all formats. That's why I traded.
Best,
Erik
There are others who claim that high resolution offers no audible benefits.I am most certainly not one of them!
To each his own. :)
edit: Just curious. Which recordings have you compared the same content in both 16/44 and 24/96 versions?
