You haven't heard Telarc's "1812 overture" recording, then.
with it's bass drum that required a note inside the sleeve advising users could damage their speakers unless they kept the volume low.
IMO, no... Audiophiles use reference CDs for good reasons. https://www.audiophilia.com/reviews/2016/6/5/my-top-ten-references-cds-for-reviews
But if you are able to hear the 44.1kHz quantization then you can upsample to 192kHz.
Quantinzation produces a huge amount of out-of-band noise and distortion that directly affects the audible band of high frequencies.
Of course it will happen with low quality audio recordings or with a bad low end DAC, but this will not happen with regular CD quality with a good DAC.
Still, if you want, there is High-Resolution Audio’s bitrate of 9,216 kbps which is a plain overkill, but it allows signal manipulation (equalization, edition, filters, etc) without damaging the original quality.
Vynil has a footprint we may love (I do), but not a better quality than a CD.

One thing is MP3 and another one CD quality. Spotify and Pandora typically stream at bitrate of 160 kbps (for free), which is less than that the MP3s quality. With Spotify Premium you may get 320kbps. But CD quality is 1,411 kbps. There is certain (perhaps huge if you want) "amount of out-of-band noise and distortion" at 160kbps, but 1,411kbps of a CD is perfect audio. Still, if you want, there is High-Resolution Audio’s bitrate of 9,216 kbps which is a plain overkill, but it allows signal manipulation (equalization, edition, filters, etc) without damaging the original quality.
If you have a High End setup I can point you many FLAC tracks in youtube sporting perfect audio. Vynil has a footprint we may love (I do), but not a better quality than a CD.

Note to readers who aren't the quoted troll. A wise person automatically disbelieves what's being peddled when the peddler starts out by requesting that one "believe them."Believe me...
You "know" nothing other than my PHOTRIO user name....I know exactly...
In the absence of anything substantive, fall back on ad hominem. Classic troll defense. As always, a total failure to impress any thinking readers....what kind of Borg I am responding to!
The only cd playback system that I am aware of that effectively negates quantization artifacts is made by Zanden ($30k US).
Point me to them FLACs. My early 2000 Aiwas plugged into my late 80's Emerson can't wait. The M-Audio Delta 1010 makes everything sound good.
I agree completely. However, we live in an age when the market is driven by consumers who predominantly consume audio via MP3s. Reality sucks, but it's real.I wish there was more Super Audio CDs (SACD) out there...
SNIP
You may try the Denafris ARES II, R2R DAC https://www.denafrips.com/ares ($700). A friend has it.
A bit of mix, some reference tracks, some blues by Don, and some recordings from vynils (Many are not FLAC but still playing perfect,, with no quantization noise, to my ears...)

Can you descend any further? My prediction: a resounding "yes!"Can you say AES BORG TROLL?
Can you descend any further? My prediction: a resounding "yes!"
Substance, readers, always seek substance, and reject snake oil.
Can you descend any further? My prediction: a resounding "yes!"...
Prediction validated. Pure ad hominem. Utterly devoid of substance. Dig on; your credibility keeps descending into that hole.I have been dealing with you jokers all of my life. You never change.
your credibility keeps descending into that hole.
My credibility isn't even a single bit tarnished in my dealings with you!
Your posts have credibility. The troll's do not.
It is specifically the CD and lesser formats that are an issue
My father's cousin was Dorothy Collins, who was married to Raymond Scott, the American composer, band leader, recording artist, producer and musical experimenter. He had a turntable in his car - they were available as accessories in some American cars at the time.There must be something wrong. I like the sound that comes from my car radio OK.

My Dad remembered riding with him once while he played a record. It was Raymond Scott's opinion that the inside of an automobile was an excellent listening environment.
This was before 1961, the car would no doubt have been large, and I don't know what he thought about road noise.
If Dad had been the one who chose the LP, it would most likely have been Duke Ellington.
Thank you.Your posts have credibility. The troll's do not...
Tell that to Nikon. I'm still awaiting its fulfillment of my existing order for a new F6....There is a tangible analogue revival...
