Most folks think wine in a heavy bottle is better than wine in a standard bottle.  What you are getting is more glass, not better wine.

I have never been able to find any improvement in sound with higher resolution, as stated above by @synn, if the source material is good, the music sounds good.   

 

 

 

With a competent system, CD resolution is way beyond enough to deliver the goods - hires is just a workaround for playback that has implementation problems. A simple solution for such a setup is just to upsample RB to the "best" res for the rig beforehand, and play those instead.

Why does no one comment on the obvious distortion on KOB?

 

It is a great recording, and one of my all time favorites.  But it has some distortion in places.  

 

Which distortion? Are we talking about the spit sound from the horns that I note is discussed elsewhere?
