My claim was that I could abx 24/192 compared to 16/44. I was challenged by several members to provide proof with foobar signed logs - which I believe I did (albeit 24/96 to 16/44 - proctored testing was not part of the original challenge. I think it would be really cool to do proctored...

What is silly is that some who "claim" to adhere to science are really more akin to religious zealots when presented with evidence that may call into question their beliefs. It is not your right to smear me & as long as the mods allow it I will keep defending myself. Actually, I will just...

The guantlet has been baseless accusations aimed at debasing me & discrediting me as a person - that is not part of the "scientific method." I have not presented any false information. I used standard tools (sox) in the manner recommended & disclosed my config parameters in case they needed...

I am obviously new here, but in my experience so far, I can say, sadly, mostly no... :( I have had to endure baseless accusations of impropriety (even though I gave an extreme amount of detail about what I did - not trying to hide anything). Also, I have to ignore baseless assertions that I...

As I said, not every source is discernibly different (16 vs 24), so I do not doubt that you could possibly find one in which I cannot differentiate, but I am sure I could redo the test with a proper 16/44 conversion from the source I sent & I could provide more sources where the differences are...

I must admit that given some of the reception my post got I do doubt you will accept my evidence, but I went ahead and did it anyways. I created the 16/44 from the 24bit version using sox -V3 -v 0.99 -G -b 16 rate -v -L 44100. https://gofile.io/d/7BUuGQ foo_abx 2.0.6d report foobar2000 v1.5.1...

I do get what you are saying here. There are a couple of other benefits of 24bit that I didn't delve into. When you conduct processing on music it generally sounds less artificial & develops less artifacts when using 24bit sources. Some recordings improve drastically to my ears when...

true, but 24bit will not kill anyone (at least not volume matched)

There are many examples listed in this thread Science gave us the flat earth and many fallacies in history. It is not perfect and only explains a very small fraction of the knowledge of the universe. Of course it is important, but it is also limited. It's also important to understand why...

I used to love the sound of CDs and chuckle to myself at people that listened to vinyl. One day I had the chance to sit and listen to a quality 24bit recording. As I listened, my mind became open to the idea that perhaps there was something better than redbook. There was no positive bias...

I did always consider the shielded cables to be worth it. The cost versus unshielded cables is negligible.

Hi, I'm a music fan and interested in finding midfi hardware deals. Good audio fidelity that doesnt make me broke. :)
