My limited experience is that shrillness is caused by inadequate DAC processing, something common in CDs early days with jitter the basic problem.
I rarely find it now on any in the big collection here with albums dating back to the early digital era alongside modern fare.
The "cure" is neither simple nor inexpensive and I credit success here to as much the (hard wired) Auralic G1 steamer as the Audio-gd R8 DAC. And I was surprised to discover the R8 made no improvement in the AQ over the modded LKS DA-004. All of which makes me think that we have now finally got the DAC technology right.
And I should add that I had previously labelled a CD purchased in the early days of CD, as having poor AQ but now find, with the latest gear, it is fine.
So, reading the posts in this thread I wonder if improvements heard with hi-rez reflect that the DACs being used handle the processing more deftly with hi-rez but are more challenged by 44/16??
What can be more subjective than music? It reflects our personal tastes and preferences.
