Title: 24.192 discs?
Post by: jmz93 on March 16, 2007, 12:35:38 PM: Hi folks. I have a couple dvd-audios that have 24bit/96K 2-channel audio, but I'm looking for something 24.192, mostly just to see if I can hear a difference and to really test out my Pioneer Elite universal player. Any suggestions/recommendations?

Loving the SACD's though. :)

WTF? Did they simply take the cd recordings at 44.1 and upsample them? That's uber lame!

If Neil Young is as much of an audiophile as I hear he is, I'd imagine they did some clever remastering from the original master tapes - I don't think he'd stand for anything less.

You want to seek out a boutique label called Hi-Res (http://www.hiresmusic.com/) who has mastered some gorgeous stuff at 24/192:
