The views of Hans Beekhuyzen are an acquired taste. But for those here wishing to hear yet another short discussion on this topic, you could do worse than this new post.
I know that a little bit of arithmetic can be antithetical to just listening. But Hans provides some explanations of why (or why not) higher resolution digital audio may sound better. Of course, as with all things Beekhuyzen, you might have to pay some attention and think a little. And Hans paints with a broad brush. But understanding digital audio can be worth the effort. You may be paying a lot of money for numbers you don't understand.
