RE: INTERNET TEST: 24-bit vs. 16-bit Audio.

The files are all 24/96. No problem if your DAC doesn't play 16/96.

They were just converted to 16/96 with a little dither (again, nothing fancy!) and then put back into the 24/96 container... That's all... The DAC will not notice any change between tracks.

Listen and let me know if the last 8 bits make an audible difference; remembering of course that there's no DAC on earth that can accurately reproduce those last few bits of dynamic range in 24-bit audio data.
