Are high sample rates making your music sound worse?

@cleeds

Well, I said that if you load up the high-rez digital file and subtracted the differences between a 16/44.1, you’ll see the differences. You replied that I think listening doesn’t matter. As I’ve said, what you hear is the most important, measurements don’t mean anything compared to what you hear, measurements just are able to tell us wether you are hearing things that actually exist. If I played the same digital file to 100 people and then played the same file again and asked if they heard a difference, how many do you think will say yes?

Maybe if you bought a CD player at a dollar store. A $75 Blu-Ray player will output the same bits as a $10,000 CD player, only differences are jitter, which even a “cheap” DAC will reduce to below -100dBFS. 
 
Not sure if you know, you can literally drill a hole in a CD and it will not change anything. CD has a lot of protection against faults.

>>>>>The only differences are jitter? You mean like jitter caused by ordinary vibration of the CD transport and very low frequency seismic vibration? And jitter produced by scattered background laser light? Lol 😝

>>>>I’ll take your word for it. I have not punched a hole in any CDs lately. One thing the CD player can’t deal with are radial scratches. No protection against that. Also, there’s no protection against random noise as can be deduced by painting the CD outer edge green and using your ears. Reed Solomon only gets you so far. Perfect sound forever. LOL

Not sure if you were joking, but to cover bases:

Snopes? Yeah, that’s a real reliable source. 😛 This must be your first rodeo, cowpoke. 🤠

This poster is an example of people who JUST DO NOT LISTEN, either to music or other people. I am surprised anyone has risen to such a nonsense debate to continue his moronic thoughts. A highly skilled engineer of mine built an amp for me that has exactly the same measurements as another Bryston amp I had. Did it sound the same? Of course not ... Hang on, it must be my ears that are faulty! And the poster should buy better equipment before labelling ALL equipment the  same. Seems he has less quality equipment to match his inferior thoughts.
