The main thing for me going with 192kHz sample rate is that when you choose 96kHz it will most likely (unless specifically stated) a down sample.
The idea of down sampling is what itches me. I don't like that thought.
I rather buy 192kHz if it's originally sampled that way, instead of buying a down sampled version.
There has to be some degree of loss there.
And I don't buy hi-s audio that's simply been upsampled or taken from old masters.
The ones I buy are new masters from the original master tapes.
Like the Kind of Blue album. That one sounds amazing compared to the older hi-res version.
I can agree that 96kHz is enough though. And don't think it is less good then 192kHz IF both are sampled independently.
And I thought myself too that 192kHz was the max Devialet supports.
Thanks for the link. Must have overlooked it somehow.
Will try to verify if the albums 192kHz and 96kHz are simple down sampled versions, or not.
Oh, and I will read the (boring
) link.
Read about Snip Records before. Not bought anything yet as I believe the albums didn't do it for me yet. But need to check again.
