Thanks for the link, I had no idea iTunes upsampled as well as there was nothing about either in the help menu

So I guess I find 44.1kHz unacceptable even upsampled to 96kHz. But the 192kHz music files I downloaded sounded so much better than the 96kHz versions I am at a loss to explain it, especially the increased ambiance and the longer decay on notes. Could the increased ambiance be a byproduct of the higher jitter rate people say 192kHz has over 96kHz? Could the longer decay on notes be a byproduct of the downconversion? If so these byproducts are very musical?

So next question, since the sound card in my Mac Mini is the Intel High Definition Audio 0x83847680 which does 192 kHz/32-bit quality for two channels, and 96 kHz/32-bit for up to eight channels and iTunes does 32/192, if I got a different player would I then be able to play my 192kHz music files at the proper resolution?

Give me high resolution or remain silent,
Teresa
