As a bit-perfect maxi I have to somewhat disagree. Modern codecs are so good that in most of the recordings differences are barely, if even noticeable. Still I prefer bit perfect-chain just to be safe that I don’t miss something.

Also, we have DACs and IEMs today that cost 20$ each, and sound better than most of the high end snake oil shit. Chi-fi kills it!

Now, high-res, anything above 48khz we can’t hear, if 192khz sounds different, it’s a simply different master.
