No - absolutely no audible difference between the 16/44.1 and the

You might be right, I can convince myself that I can hear a difference,
but until I get round to doing a proper blind test I won't know. That
10 second sample's a bit too short though.
I think that I can hear a difference in the high strings - but that's
exactly where I expect the difference to be. I did compare the SACD of
Dark Side of the Moon with the CD layer, and found that the cymbals
swoosh in a more realistic way, but again that is what I had expected,
and I knew which layer I was hearing.
Perhaps I'm not using a good enough mains cable......
