I mostly listen to music on a Windows pc with a FIIO Q7, HD560 in Foobar2k, which I consider to be literally baby level gear compare with the setups and gear some users have here. Anyway, I have been checking on rebuilding my music library and I notice that FLACs with 24b-48kHz really sound different from the previous tracks I had, but above that i.e., 24b-96kHz, 24b-192kHz or even DSF tracks does not sound different at all.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I literally just change from some Marshall Monitors and listening music in windows VLC to this beginner level gear. So, I assume my lack of knowledge and lack of higher level gear is the culprit to me not finding any difference with quality levels above 48kHz. I hope the community can help me with some insights for me to understand a little more, and tweak something’s while I get use to this hobby.
PD. I am not planning on buying more gear at the moment, maybe in the future I will get into more advance level stuff.
Only pain, you will find.
It will be a never ending labyrinth filled with paradoxes and enigmas wrapped in Twinkies.
Leave the puzzles. Take the twinkies.
Will he finish what he begins?
On really good gear, the difference is painfully obvious. Unfortunately, it’s also painfully obvious when recording engineers try to sneak in a vocal recorded in a sound booth when the rest of the track was recorded in a vastly different, more acoustically lively recording space.
Name an example of a recording engineer that did that. Audio engineer here. I want to hear what you are claiming you can hear clearly.
