problems with 24 bit cd players

i am looking for a non upsampling less than 24 bit cd player

Do my other posts not show up? Why do you keep saying that? That statement makes no sense. If it is non upsampling and non oversampling IT IS 16 BITS !!!!!! Period. end of story. If it has more than 16 bits it is doing some type of sampling to create the extra bits.

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

OK, I feel better now.

Now, now, Herman:)

hi herman:

hi herman, you are railing against redundancy. it would have been suffiecient to say:

i am looking for an 18 or 16 bit player. i apologize for unnecessary words.

Ok, I give up since you can't seem to grasp the concept. I am not railing against redundancy, I am railing against something that is impossible.

16 bits is the native format. Anything greater involves sampling.

17 bits involves sampling
18 bits involves sampling
19 bits involves sampling
20 bits involves sampling
21 bits involves sampling
22 bits involves sampling
23 bits involves sampling
and so on

If you are looking for a player that does not sample then you are looking for a 16 bit player, not an "18 or 16 bit player," which by the way is different than your first impossible request.

is it possible that one can buy a current production player which is 20 bit and no up sampling ?

I need to get a life.

Interesting you have to explain the concept to somebody who claims to be a reviewer and should know.

Or not.
