Alan,
My whole issue here has been maybe a simple case of ignorance? I was under the impression that High Resolution Digital automatically trumps Redbook sonically even if the High Res DAC is not of stae of the art. I have been thoroughly impressed with my new Havana DAC during the short time that I have owned it, but, I ASUMMED if this dac (redbook only) could emberrass My Sony XA77ES (with every redbook cd), then substantially higher bit rate would be waaaay better yet. You know, a bigger engine is always going to make a vehicle faster than one with a smaller engine, given equal weight.
Maybe 16/44.1 is good enough with the right DAC???
