Hi guys!
I got myself into the headphones business several months ago and I am loving it
I have a question though:
A couple of days ago I got an audiophile DVD sample with some 96 khz songs on it. Since then I've been A/B-ing songs and I still fail to hear the difference between normal MP3s (even high compression ones) and the supposedly amazing quality 96 khz ones... A song in question is Elton John's "Blessed". I have a plain vanilla 44.1 khz 128k MP3 and I cannot hear the difference with the 96 khz version. I think I hear some differences here and there, but it's a gamble...
My config is EMU 0404 USB with Sennheiser HD595, using Foobar + ASIO to play the music on a Dell Laptop.
So the question is is my equipment adequate to hear a difference? Or maybe it's my bad hearing :-D Or is it possible that I ripped the DVD wrong somehow?!
Any help would be deeply appreciated :-D
