yup, if ur headphone is not support hi-res (or known as 24-bit sampling rate), even ur music player or mobile phone is support hi-res audio, the particular headphone will only play music with 16-bit

not totally gimmick. at least the high res head phone can go above 20khz (treble a.k.a. sharp sound) until 110khz the most expensive one. reach that point ppl dont hear anymore, is feeling. lol
10r cannot satisfy me too. try the 1r or 1a can play well without pha device.
24bit is not even call as sampling rate. is bit rate (actually is volume depth)
sony jp say high res need player + head phone combination (is real btw).

source, digital music in wave, flac, or other compressed lossless codec.
software app to decode data or bit stream external dac.
after that is no longer digital domain.

hardware side, high res recording retain (keep) more detail in treble. not boost style, is what we call natural roll off.

given this condition, ur head phone must

1. not roll off treble (sharp sound) earlier that playing song recorded.
2. not boost treble, very ugly & ear piercing discomfort.
3. response correctly to the audio signal. becos high sampling will record details in the middle of the middle-ing middle... & so on.
ear piece is moving very fast to push all the sound. it need stiff material or inforcement to prevent sound distort (pecah)

above as all i know

im eager to try sony monitoring headphones

true, exactly those boring music where the high res headphone can perform better than others within price range
i cannot say high res win all becos its not.

hope u dont misunderstand my intention is let ppl know 24 bit rate is not the only point of high resolution.

Until now I also dont understand that LDAC those feature for Sony HiRes music player
That was a time I kept finding SACD and DSD format, but give up liao, only find the song/music I like with good mastering quality.
Any example? just to know how to differentiate

No problem, have you tried Star Wars: The Force Awakens 24 bit album yet? Trying to buy from prostudiomasters using Hola to change IP add but couldn't get pass the checkout lol.

You hardcore, always buy genuine and support genuine

Meanwhile, I am on the DARK side

haha no la, depends also... i source my stuffs from everywhere lol

Can pm me more abt the dark side? Finding everywhere but cant find for source for flac.

imho, a properly mastered CD  ripped properly into flac/lossless/ 320kbps, is all you need.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens sounds awesome. Great mastering IMO.

which sampling rate you bought? 192kHz or 96kHz??

192khz, I doubt I'll be able to hear the difference btw 96khz and 192khz... But being a John Williams + Star Wars fan, and price only extra $2-3 I figured what the hell.

Btw the 96khz version are available free everywhere if you know what I mean lol

Sith Lord GOogle is always so powerful, so many worship HIM

how much you bought the album?

There is another OST album called Star Wars Saga by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra:

http://mora.jp/package/43000070/RBCP-2958H/

Around $19 I think.
¥2500 means around RM80ish. Not bad but that's a selected compilation of 15 tracks from 6 albums right? I have the first 3 albums in 24 bit by LSO but the mastering isn't that good.

Yup, compilation from all 6 albums

19 usd is quite okay not my affordable range yet, meanwhile I continue to be on dark side

the first 3 album you have are Vinyl?
