Folks,
I've got quite a bit of 24/96 material on my computer that is in 5.1 surround. Given that most of us accept it as true that 16/44.1 vs 24/96 makes no audiable difference, is there any reason not to dither these files down to 16/44.1 in 5.1 channels? It would save me disc space, reduce my network activity and also reduce my CPUs cock cycles. Thanks -------------------- Music lover and recovering high end audiophile
