Standard Redbook CDs operate at 16-bit/44.1kHz. A 24-bit/96kHz FLAC file holds vastly more data. The 24-bit depth expands the dynamic range from 96 decibels (CD) to an incredible 144 decibels, completely eliminating the digital noise floor. The 96kHz sampling rate captures frequencies well beyond human hearing, which reconstructs the original analog sine wave with perfect fluid smoothness.
Perhaps the most melancholic and beautiful track on the record, "Blue in Green" is a masterclass in space. Miles plays with a Harmon mute on his trumpet. In low-resolution formats, a muted trumpet can sound harsh or piercing. In 24-96 FLAC or SACD, the mute reveals its intricate, breathy textures. The space between the notes becomes a physical presence in the room, creating an incredibly intimate, late-night atmosphere. "Flamenco Sketches" Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue -1959- FLAC 24-96 SACD
