RE: "and just how are we to figure it out"...

IMNSHO, it's gotta be user hardware dependent.

There are so many choices in how to decode a digital file that I doubt anyone would ever agree.

I use a multi-bit ladder DAC that likely has a real bit depth of about 18 bits or so. It's based on 8 each PCM1704's and would by many be considered obsolete as TI doesn't sell the chips anymore.

Others have DSD DACs fully capable of decoding DSD-512, some use software to up-sample to that rate, some DSD DACs up-sample internally to even higher sample rates and even deeper bit depths and on and on and on.

Who is to say what's best for you?

I use iTunes with a $10 Bit Perfect plug-in so WTFDIK



First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
