I'm a long-time lurker and quasi-newbie in the field of digital audio. I enjoy this list greatly because of the friendly atmosphere and the knowledge of the participants, so I hope that my question will be not be perceived as to out of place. The question is this: what recommendations can you give for converting stereo music files at 24/88.2 and 24/192 to 24/96 with no loss of musical information? Or is such a thing not possible for an amateur (a cheap but not completely impecunious one?) I have Windows machines and am adept with software. I have not been able to locate any good information that answers this question directly. Many recommend dbpoweramp and other software, but I cannot verify whether there is any loss of musical quality. I have seen articles describing how SCR takes place in the process of creating professional master recordings - including conversions to analogue, dithering, &c. Thanks for your help, L. H. Kevil University of Missouri This post has nothing to do with the university. I'm just indulging my passion for high-quality music reproduction.
