A dealer test is the only way to decide if it is right for us (with our ears, our system, our room, our taste). Using SACDs converted to 24/96 then downsampled has the disadvantage that you are starting with something which is only sort-of-hi-resolution (leaving aside the hype). The information above 20kHz on an SACD suffers from high distortion, and this technical weakness was discussed by Gerzon, and I believe referred to by Meridian when DVD-A was being first publicised. DVD-A has no such weakness (though it has other practical and licencing ones). You didn't read my post. Well obviously I did, but I missed a few words - there's a difference. Don't exaggerate. Originally Posted by George Mills I did it on SACD, 24/96 Native Flacs and 24/96 Bluray. If "downsampling" is "bad" (As you are implying) then it should be even easier to hear the difference (how much the sound is degraded), the point is I don't. So why will I hear it going the other direction (which will be even less of a difference, because it won't be true hi-res)? And what I'm starting with won't be damaged by a downsampler. I see your point, as I did before, but my own fundamental point remains the same: why attempt to discover whether you will want an HD621 with this unproven test when you could just borrow an HD621 from your dealer? Wouldn't you normally advocate buying something only if you can hear the difference in an audition of the product in question?
