this is cost for elimination high quality analog electronics (precision, temperature stable, low noise metal film resistors, high quality potentiometers etc). This is only partially true - you cant ignore fact that more and more audio systems perform digital level control and this mean that overall audio bit depth need to be be significantly higher (2 times at least) than native material bit depth.Īs DAC bit depth can't be increased 2 times (in analog domain practical limitation is around 110 - 120dB) then you need go for significant oversampling. and why they make no senseĪll it'd take is one credible ABX test proving someone can definitely tell the difference in the studio and I'd jump straight on the "okay, there must be an audible difference" bandwagon.

And now we can all benefit from the improvement in sound when listening to digital audio over expensive ethernet cables. Some people also think digital music sounds different depending on the brand/model of hard drive it's stored on. we can certainly tell the difference in the studio There's certainly something to be said for the placebo effect.
Is that contrary to all those ABX tests that seem to indicate lossy audio is transparent at high enough bitrates (even MP3s)? That is why people prefer 48 and 96 bit sample rates and highest quality DACs - compressing to a lossy format is a step in the wrong direction and IS noticeable. even 384 (448 is also limit for stereo) or 448 it is noticeable - though people used to mp3s would not notice a difference.
