Personal opinion is that moving to 24/96 or 24/192 makes a noticable
difference to the quality of reproduction in the subtleties and
increased resolution, especially of high frequencies. I have a cheap
DVD Audio player, but music is more enjoyable from the DVDA than it
is from CD.


I also have a DVD-A player and cannot hear any difference between the
same disc at 96/24 and 44.1/16. (I run the signal through a sample
rate converter to get the lower sample rate.) The output is fed to a
pair for Stax headphones.

If you are anywhere near Southampton, would you like to try a blind
test to see whether you can still tell the difference?


Lol - stax headphones... cool...
So you're using an external DAC for both the 96/24 and the 44.1/16, and
doing the conversion in the digital domain, and you can't hear the
difference???
