    Default Where can I find 24bit/96Khz music?

    I see this as the limit of sound quality for many sound devices, like CDJs and etc.
    But where can I get tracks with this quality?
    I can't seem to get nothing higher than 16bit/44,1khz at beatport.
    I'm just curious, I know I won't hear the difference with my headphones or speakers.

    • Because the file sizes would be huge
    • Because 16bit is already CD Audio
    • Because you won't hear the difference


    Great topic on headfi ... http://www.head-fi.org/t/415361/24bi...-myth-exploded

    Bottom line really is that 24bit is only really useful for the studio mix when combining multiple tracks together it gives you more room to maneuver.

    24/96 track in a club is a bit like driving a lamborgini in heavy traffic - utterly pointless

    I agree with deevey, it's useful in production and for processing, but for the final output it's unnecessary despite what some folks say.

    If the text of the previous link is a bit wordy, this is a fairly well known video that explains with some great demos too:

    I get few tracks from the naim label and http://www.highresaudio.com/ however there's not alot of music there which I use for djing.
    Just for listening at home, and boy, there is a huge difference but as someone mentioned it's not worth to bring to a club.
    You will need some serious HiFi to make it worth with high res audio.

    No, there really isn't a huge difference, at least one brought on by the bitrate or sample rate. The difference between bitrates literally has nothing to do with sound quality, and cannot be heard by human ears anyway. While a high sample rate only has one specific purpose on one specific part of the digital chain. Both are literally a waste of space otherwise.

    I hear the clear difference between AIFF and MP3, so bitrate surely has to do with sound quality..... if it doesn't than what does??

    Honestly? You can take an .aiff file, convert it to a 320kbps .mp3 file, and tell the difference in a blind test?

    Worrying about this type of thing is EXACTLY what will stop you from progressing as amusicion/DJ/perfomer. It's a distraction.

    I have my doubts about this as well. But be that as it may, comparing the bitrate of a lossless file to the bitrates of lossy compression formats is absurd.
