Thanks for bringing content for this topic, I've been looking for more options and your channel shed a light into the world of high definition audio.

Thank you for leading me into this video. Now I undrerstand what that logo means. It is true that not all products has it and this is a great consumer guide.

Minimum bit depth is 24bit. My choice always. Well crafted video by the way. Clean, direct and easy to understand!

[kaileeinatree]

24 bit audio for the win! I play my FLAC files at 96khz as well!

[attilaracz]

24/96 is the thing for me. Thx God I can hear the difference between CD and HD and I enjoy it a lot. Using a Fiio x3 player with a 1more in- ear triple driver definitely makes the difference.

Answer for the comp - B: 24bit.


Really informative video, never knew this much detail before. Audio quality can be so subjective in how people talk about it, it's good to see how it actually works. I'm curious as to the final comment on your views on vinyl.

[tonypiz]

The answer is: B - 24 bits
Informative video, by the way. ^^

[FroL_Onn]

Thanks for the explanation!) Looking forward to hearing you getting started on vinyl ^_^

Very very good detailing about hi res audio and bit depth and also sample rate of recording audio in higher sample rate for reproducing good quality sound output. Thanks for your tips.

[jopar]

In terms of the 'why go higher than 20-20Hz' question. Personally I have found that the 'experience' and 'immersion into the music' of my listening is much improved the higher the bit depth and sample rates - its not so much about how much better it sounds, more about how the mind settles into the music as oppose to lossy formats

[robovirtuoso]

Higher bit depth is always good for dynamic range (although most genres of music apart from classical don't need this). But higher sampling rate on our audio files is always a waste of space! Only audiofools "claim" to hear the difference, but they always fail A-B tests, so they are as usual "imagining" things. Upsampling is meant to be a useful tool in music production, to avoid the aliasing artifacts from digital filters especially when applying complex processing to the audio tracks. But once all the edits are done, and the final mix is rendered for end-user consumption, encoding it back in 44KHz is just fine!
