[QUOTE="stephgirl, post: 8633672, member: 660189"] So i was spending some time last night researching this Hi Res stuff and came across many videos and music on YouTube. There was information about what it is and the pro's and con's and also many music songs recorded in the hi res audio. I guess i did not realize what it really was until i learned more about it. It turns out i have it right here on my home desk top computer. It is a program i purchased many years ago called WaveLab music editing and remastering program. It was a hobby of mine to take music and remaster it or make it sound better to what i like. And i have over 6000 songs in all categories. But this program is very advanced and is supposed to be used in recording studios mainly. I only use many of the basic parts of the program. But learning what Hi Res Audio is. WOW i can now hear the difference. Hi Res audio is a form of a recording that is recorded in higher bits and higher sampling rate to capture 100% of the original recording. Boy does it sound great. To me it does. To someone else it may not. I have a pair of Sony MDRV6 Studio Monitor Headphones that have been recognized as one of the best headphones around for quality sound. And i could hear all the detail of the Hi Res Audio recording. There is a lot of music out there that i did not know that is available in the Hi Res Audio. FLAC format is available with the 24bit and 96 Khz. Also found out many Head Units can play FLAC recordings in the USB port. Also saw there was some kind of discussion meeting at CES show about Hi Res Audio and the future and going forward with it i guess. I may start with replacing my HU and by sometime this year see what other manufactures do and if they come out with Hi Res certified equipment. I have to say that i have been using the MP3 format for a number of years now and with the experience of using this WaveLab software also for many years i truly many time can hear the audio difference from a full Wave file song (non compressed) to the MP3 compressed audio. My current Head Unit can only play MP3 and WMA though USB port. So i had had to go the MP3 route on portable hard drive to have all my 6000 songs to play in vehicle. I will now start the posses of replacing the head unit with one that can play Wave files and Flac files in Hi Res Audio. I see there is a many number of HU that can do that and they don't break the bank ether. Also i looked at some amps and speakers that were Hi Res certificated and was surprised they are not so bad on price. That Kenwood i spoke about in first post was only $349.
