Can AIR stream 24 bit / 352kHz?

[Charlemagne]

@Pim: good posting! I fully agree with you. Although Devialet can do 24/192 I limite the highres downloads to 24/96. About a year ago I attended to a workshop on highres recording. The technician of the Sniprecords Studio, who by the way does some excellent highres recording, explained that they did some elaborate testing about the highres recordings with all kind of shootouts and technical analyses. They found out that the 24/96 format gives the best results and they use that as a recording standard since.

Here is a link to a PDF-file about highres digital recording of Sniprecords:

SnipRecords records at 96 kHz 24 bit as we believe that this is the right sample rate and bit depth to store our digital music: detailed and high quality. The difference between 96 kHz and CD quality is clearly audible. Recording at higher sample rates than 96 kHz have no audible benefits. Our high resolution recordings sound more smooth, less restrained, more open and 3D compared to ordinary CD quality. And best of all, it creates the experience of being in the recording studio with the musicians!

Sniprecords is a Dutch recording studio wich produces excellent highres albums available as downloads only: http://www.sniprecords.nl/
