Streaming resolution

When I had a budget streamer could not listen to something low res. I would always be on the lookout for a 48 or a 96 as they sounded good. Now that I have upgraded, I rarely look for the Hi-Rez symbol and even less about the bit rate. Still have a hard time listening to anything that that’s not contemporary. Hopefully AI can come along and fix this. I hear the recording industry uses AI for mixing and mastering recordings. I wonder if somebody could invent a box that you could put in your system that would use AI to correct all the Faults of old recordings. 

I find the quality of the recording matters more than sample rate and bit rate matters more than sample rate. 

Same as Soix. 

For analytical listening high res helps but for enjoyment, quality of recording matters the most or I suppose it is emotion and musicality.  Some recordings from 30 to 40 years ago are amazing and of course, some are terrible.  I really enjoy listening to older music that I had only listened to previously on low quality (stuff I could afford) systems and how amazing the tracks on good gear sound.  

I have an extremely revealing dedicated streaming only audio system, and like anything else, CD, vinyl, etc., some recordings, regardless of stated res, just sound better, or were better recorded than others.  Streamed music is no exception to the rule.  Happy listening.          

For me 24/48 is ideal as well. Wonder why?
