Will my external hardrive plugged into my Panasonic bdt130 blu-ray players usb send the 24 bit flacs saved on it out the Blu-rays optical into my stereo amplifiers (Onkyo a9050) onboard dac so I get hi-res audio out me diamond 220s. Cheers

Nope, that would take too much common sense. And forget about Googling it myself. Much easier to keep asking the same question on the forums until someone else looks it up for me.
strms said:The OP didnt ask would they be able to hear and audible difference they just wanted to know does the player support it.
Another thread derailing mission.
Please read the request before jumping in with your usual i.e "won't work", "there's no difference", "you can't hear any difference" etc. as it is getting rather frustrating to see threads shut down or derailed time and time again.

This will not have an effect on the sound quality and any superiority that the 24 bit download had over the Cd standard release will be preserved.

You cannot absolutely state that as fact. The OP asked a very simple answer and the derailment of the thread was juvenile to say the least. You buy a component that plays hires, you want to make sure it does, that's unreasonable?

I think he bought the equipment, so hi-res isn't necessary.

No he can't, here's a thread from of a hires sceptic, but as you'll read later on even he won't admit that downsampling is a good idea. You may or may not hear a difference, but the statement 'any superiority that the 24 bit download had over the Cd standard release will be preserved.' from a technical point of view is completely wrong.fr0g said:manicm said:davedotco said:Perhaps the point being made is that, the player might downsample to Cd standard before passing the data onwards.

Actually, yes, he can.
There are known limits to human hearing and 16/44.1 covers them for playback duties.
Anything higher is only useful for mastering. And any claim for higher audible playback quality, outside the range of human hearing would be up to those claiming it to prove, not the reverse.
So, yes, it's a fact that what Dave has said, is true.

John Duncan said:Irrespective of the relative merits of 24/96 vs 16/44, does anybody know what will be output out of the optical of his player when he plays a 24/96 flac file?
manicm said:Ah davedotco, so 'budget' to 'midrange' it won't make a difference, so you're being selective about your 'facts', the truth is that downsampling is truncating data, so how could that validate your statement, also if you read the link I gave the discussion goes into considerable more depth than has been the case in these forums, the Shannon theory assumes environmentally everything is 100% absolute i.e. all electronics adheres absolutely to the assumptions when in fact they do not. I'm not discussing the merits of hires, but downsampling is truncating data, and that makes your statement absolutely incorrect technically. The OP has asked a question and he hasn't received an answer yet.
