which is better 1.bit 256 sampling 0r 24/96

I need info on sampling??

I have heard both the sampling rates on high end DAC and 1 pc. CD players and can't hear any difference.

The 1 bit dac (bitstream) probably samples at the redbook standard of 44.1 Mhz. They call the 256X oversampling "continuous calibration"; the 256 is an estimate. The typical CD player with a multi-bit DAC may have a 8X oversampling digital filter, and the DAC can sample up 96 Mhz.
