High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it.

Something that came as a surprise to me is how good DAC's have gotten over the past 5-10 years.

Before then, there was a consistent, marked improvement going from Redbook (44.1/16) to 96/24 or higher.

The modern DAC, the best of them, no longer do this. The Redbook playback is so good high resolution is almost not needed. Anyone else notice this?

Regarding "phase inversion button"...

"Um, no one has it because almost no one finds any value in it."
I have it. Two of them. I find it valuable to have them, at least I can say I checked for differences. At the same time, I find difference so minor that it seems to border imagination rather than real result.

In short, if you do not have this magic button, do not despair. You are not missing much.

Most likely the effect is system dependent. So your results are not surprising, glubson.

"So your results are not surprising, glubson."
It seems that erik_squires and you agree on this one.

Not fair. This is the first time someone has a chance to agree with geoffkait and you want to ruin it. This may be a historic moment.
