About 24/48 Resolution

This represents the 24 bit files that are the result of all the
editing preserved in 24 bit. (Editing: time compress/expand, EQing
and of course the multichannel, multi-source mixdown for both front
and rear stereo fields.)

It is unclear exactly what we have in the way of high resolution.
However what we have here would not be represented accurately in 16/44.
In short, upsampling simply adds 000's to the end of the data stream
where as this multichannel mixdown of three 16/44 sources does in
fact utilize the entire data stream. I choose to preserve the extra
data rather than chop it off.

How much different does this sound? is this better? A little and
yes. This is more accurate and has more dynamic range. 24/48
resolution versus a1 6/44 of the same material will usually result
in very subtle but important differences. Most of it relying on
the quality of the DVD-A player its D to A conversion. With that
in mind this 24 bit copy is no different. Small but important gains
over the same material in 16/44. This is just one man's take.
