Hi.Of course I know. These are two-disc albums, one DVD-audio & one CD, mastered from the same master sound tracks, complete with all relevant certification from the production company. Are you suggesting the music/disc production firms tried to "fool" the consumers? This is a legal issue, bud.
If you don't possess the basic music instinct, change your hobby.
If your audio gears are so crappie failing to reproduce the sonic difference, replace them.If you want to get such 2-disc album to compare, ask me instead of
talking stupid.c-J

Without stating they were mastered in the same way it strikes me as rather unwise to conclude the only difference between the two is the resolution and bit depth. I am not sure it is even implied. Is there something else that makes you think the processing of the two was the same?
I presume the certificate concerns the use of the original recorded source (which was what resolution by the way?) and not a certificate relating to the equivalence of the CD and DVD?

I am not interested in the discs, I am interested in why an audiophile is claiming to hear "night and day" differences between 44/16 and 192/24.Can I take your lack of response as an indication that you have now realised that whatever was leading you to think the two sources were the same does not hold?
"These are two-disc albums, one DVD-audio & one CD,"There is no guarantee that the provenance of both discs is the same, the only way to guarantee that is to decimate the 24/192 bit to 16/44.1 yourself and then compare. If you did not do that then your comparison is as useful as a dime that dropped down the drain.
And unsurprisingly, I side with Andy19191, if the decimation is decent, there will not be night and day differences between the two.

Hi.An apple is never an orange.
So to compare a valid compare, you want to change the apple to an orange first before comparing, right?
Amazing !!!! Where is your logics?
c-J
If your goal is to compare the sonic differences between 16/44.1 and 24/192, then what I have suggest is a valid way of ensuring that the only the files being compared in the bit depth and sampling rate. That way you can be sure that the both apples originate from the same orchard :), sure beats presumption which is what you started out with.

Hi.So what is your goal?
To enjoy music through "valid way of ensuring" hows & whys. Make sure you can still sleep well at nite if you can't find such valid ways.
I suggest you stick to 'just enjoying the music', as your comments stuff relating to audio technology has been pretty much useless.
