It is baffling to me that people even talk about 24/192. There are such vast differences in audio quality related to speakers, loudness, amplifier, mastering, and EQ, before you even get to the source format.
For some reason people seem to latch on to the format thing, before being able to make judgements about the more important factors.
- xorcist 12y agoIt doesn't end there. For most people, I strongly suspect moving around your furniture would affect your sound reproduction more than changing your equipment.
- copperx 12y agoMost people listen to music using headphones nowadays.

- davidgerard 12y agoI mind the Alan Parsons interview - a sound engineer whose own music is favoured by many audiophiles - who says, guess what: fix the room first. http://boingboing.net/2012/02/10/alan-parsons-on-audiophiles.html http://boingboing.net/2012/02/10/alan-parsons-on-audiophiles... "I do think in the domestic environment, the people that have sufficient equipment don’t pay enough attention to room acoustics. The pro audio guy will prioritize room acoustics and do the necessary treatments to make the room sound right. The hi-fi world attaches less importance to room acoustics, and prioritizes equipment; they are looking more at brand names and reputation."
- ChrisGranger 12y agoThis, absolutely. The single most important thing in the audio chain from the electrical plug at the wall to your ears is the room... An actual live musician can still sound poor in an acoustically-terrible room.
