No, I'm telling you that you are comparing more changes than just 44.1kHz/16bit to 96kHz/24bit. To compare, record both to the same medium (such as a DVD-A disk, which is not restricted to 24/96) and listen to both with same equipment, preferably without knowing first which is which.

Hi.Unless we are in the same business with all the instrumentation available to carry such tests precisely, you think we ordinary Joe Blows easily get recordings via the two different digital format
with consumer's type PC burners available to us?You THINK you can bank on the outcome of such homeblew disc burnings
to draw the conclusion? How are you so sure your homebrew burning comes out right?I said I already got discs of both 16/24bit 44.1/192KHz from the same music production labs to ready to compare from the same master sound tracks. What else can be more reliable & certain?
Professional lab production or your homebrew burning?
Hey, you're the ordinary Joe Blow who "got discs of both 16/24bit 44.1/192KHz from the same music production labs". So use your serious clout with the 'labs'! -- ask them to make disks that can actually be compared under equivalent conditions. On the same medium and, like suggested above, also with both made from the same recording, the 16 bit reduced from the 24. Your conclusion may be correct (or not), but the conditions of the comparison aren't enough, IMHO, to back it up.

No, I'm an Ordinary Joe without any mastering lab connections. I'm also a Joe who's not yet making any final judgements on whether 24/96 is a big improvement over 16/44.
> ...whether 24/96 is a big improvement over 16/44. <Depends on what you consider "big". It's not the difference between Radio Shack speakers and Maggie 20.1's but its more significant than, say, cable lifters. Bad example since I've never tried cable lifters... but anyway, the diffs are not huge but I consider them worthwhile.
