Streaming resolution
What’s your favorite streaming resolution? I find when streaming hi-rez files the best resolution for me is 24/44.1 or 48. Anything higher like 96 or 192 sounds to sanitary. It’s almost lifeless. It doesn’t reveal more for me it’s sounds flat and to precise. At 48kHz - that is the sweet spot for me. The music is lively and revealing and this is across genres. Do you have a preference? What are your experiences ?

I listen to Tidal, at MAX resolution is way higher then what you claim is better sounding at a lower rez output, I think If your not hearing the better sounding rez than maybe its time to look at your digital streamer or DAC or music player, because what i'm experiencing using a decent DAC (Oppo 105D) with a outstanding streamer (Aurender X100) is nothing short of digital bliss, it blows me away at how much better digital music (done right) sounds soooo much better now then 10-20 years ago.

there are some excellent digital gear designers that believe roughly 4x the standard redbook rate (24/176-196 khz) is an ideal sample rate to make commonly deployed pcm digital filtering and reconstruction the easiest and most natural sounding.... all else being equal of course, which it never is... |
@mattmiller its not that I’m not hearing the difference, but what I hear is as I said flat and too sanitary. The edge is gone. Don’t know how else to describe it. I like what I have not looking to upgrade but just found that the lower resolution sounds more appealing. Maybe it’s digital ear from CD listening and used to that sound. |
