It makes substantially more difference than going from 48k->96k. second, don't bother with this test unless you have some way to do it double blind. otherwise, you will just join the legion of audio-centric airheads who rabbit on about what sounds better than what without ever following the most well-established, widely used, universally accepted principal of testing. --p _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
