Hi-rez download advice needed

TIA, Folks.

I'm new to the hi-rez download thing, but would love to download the new sampler as a start, so I have a question on what's the best resolution for my purposes. I'll download it to my iPad Air, and then I can either play it back through my (pretty darn nice) system via Airplay, or use my iPod as a server, playing through the USB input on my Marantz SACD player. So the question is, should I go for the 24/192 download, or is that too high a resolution for either my ipod or for wifi? Will it play through my system?

Thanks again,

j

I would go for the best quality you can buy. Even if your current system doesn't support the resolution, chances are you'll upgrade sometime in the future. If your current system won't actually play the high rez files, you can always convert them to a format your gear will play.

there is too much speculation abaut resolution and those downloads.The easiest way experience real resolution is record the same music from cd to metal audio tape and you will learn what resolution is trully.
