YKYAAW you want to say things like "I don't give a headphone cable what you think!" when you just don't care.
Nyquist sampling theory states that 44.1 would be enough in the context of a perfect algorithm, which does not exist. Linear, and linear type algorithms create ghosting, and cubic, sinc and polysinc are still pretty far from perfect....
to give a more tangible example, using polysinc in hqplayer makes a difference, and what it does is upsample to 192khz. using the same file at 44.1khz in foobar will not sound as good.
This can improove even more.
i was not able to hear a clear difference, but i heared hugo oversampling, and it made a huge difference. it should do the same thing as making everything hi-res. so, in theory this should be achieveable on computer too.
You can hear the difference between oversampled and non oversampled music. You're hearing a difference, not because of the file resolution, but because it's oversampled. Read about properly setting up an ABX test for testing between high res and redbook and they'll all say none of the music is oversampled.
Yeah, and when you convert a file to higher resolution, it also does nothing to change the sound. Something else is going on with this real-time resampling/upsampling/oversampling that makes it sound much better.
Lol upsampling does nothing. It's not like you're finding hidden sound when you upsample. Garbage in, garbage out.

YKYAAW you made over a thousand posts on Head-Fi in the past month and didn't even realize it!
It does nothing in terms of converting files yourself, but real-time upsampling makes a huge night and day difference. Just use HQPlayer to hear for yourself.
I was not expecting anything but damn, I've never heard my headphones sound that good. The soundstage is like 100 times larger now. So this whole upsampling thing, are there other programs that do it and why doesn't everyone use this sort of technology?
