Have you personally tested this in a blind study? I have, and the higher quality made a noticeable difference and I was able to identify it and prefer it across all test cases. The others I tested with did not notice any difference. It could be one of those cilantro things idk. But other accounts are in line with my experience: https://audiophilereview.com/audiophile-music/yes-19224-files-do-sound-better/ https://audiophilereview.com/audiophile-music/yes-19224-file...
- astrange 4y agoYou probably didn't blind it correctly, eg if you converted 24-bit to 16-bit then it has two levels of dithering and would naturally sound different. This guy seems to be doing an unblinded comparison between 16-bit, 24-bit, and DSD which is 2.8 MHz 1-bit. IIRC DSD converts to PCM at around 96KHz/20-bit, so comparing it to 192/24 is kind of funny. But you can just look up dynamic range - 16-bit dithered audio is enough to record someone whispering in your ear while using a jackhammer without protection. That should be enough for music.
