Re: What bothers me is . . .

64.12.116.131

here my thoughts:
I use three different players that will do SACD, and one is clearly better than the other two. But I also have a couple pretty good red book players as well. One of the redbook players does 24 / 96, and the other upsamples at 24 / 192. Cannot for the life of me tell a dimes worth of difference between the 192KHz and the 96KHz sampleing rates. But recently I picked up an SACD copy of Kinda Blue, and when compared with the DSD version I thought the latter sounded better. Why I'm not sure, but for surethere wasn't much if any advantange here. Later I picked up some of the 24 bit copies of some of the older Miles Davis stuff, and once again was well pleased when playing thru my Jolida. Then to add insult to injury I picked up a copy of a Doors CD mastered at 24 / 96. Was stunned at the sonics. Big and open
in the Jolida, but a bit edgy in the others.
