In Reply to: File comparison test between bitdepts and samplerates. Did anyone ever did such a test? posted by hfavandepas on December 7, 2012 at 09:51:53:
Check out this post from early 2010. I compared 24/96 vs. 16/44 directly - forget isolated 16 vs. 24 or 44 vs. 96 since I wanted to experience for myself whether all together much difference could be heard.Back in those days I tested with my humble old EMU 0404USB with ATH M50 headphones. 2 years down the road, I'm listening mainly with my Xonar Essence One and Senn HD800 headphones. Music in general sound better with the equipment upgrade and I haven't tried to repeat the exact same test yet but suspect from some other testing with SACD digital rips (24/88 vs. 16/44) that it'll be about the same so long as the dithering and resampling algorithms are good...
Test it for yourself and see what you think!
