Seeing lots of classic albums at 192 which is fine, but I can’t for the life of me find anything that was tracked at 192/24. I figured all Neil Youngs albums post 2015 would be 192 but Tidal is telling me they’re only 44.1.

Anybody know of a way to search this? Google, Tidal and Amazon Music are giving me nothing but classic stuff.

    Humans can’t differentiate anything over 16 bit 44.1khz, not even up to that. You can waste time and resources on chasing it if you really want to but it’s not a debate, it’s literal science, biology, acoustics. Hearing anything different in high res is an impossible occurrence aside from experiments where they’ve blasted trained listeners with a couple seconds of audio far beyond hearing damage levels, the 24 bit thing is also beyond disproven. It has no purpose whatsoever for playback applications.

    For it to be recorded at at high res, same story. At some point it was brought down to CD quality regardless and even if it wasn’t, no audible difference.
