. . . 24/48 is a HIGH bit rate (bit depth) - the 24 refers to the number of bits per sample. The 48 and the 96 are the sample rates. In my experience, I've found that the bit depth is actually MORE important than the sample rate. The best DVD-A's I've ever heard (on the Nishimura label - classical repertoire) are only 24/48. Of course, everyone's MMV.

and meant "sample rate" not "bit rate", like in the subsequent post.

I guess what I'm saying is that I tend to like higher sample rates. I'd almost certainly rather have 16/96 (or 20/96) if I could get it over 24/48, if we have to keep the bit-rate lower compared to 24/96 or 24/192. I'm not overly impressed by 24/48 over CD myself for the type of music I listen to, both are adequate though, "more" would be nice.

  That's my observation as well.
