I bought this disc thinking it was the HDCD version but it is not even though it came up in the Amazon HDCD listings. And I cant find it online anywhere.The above is from HDtracks. The P5 that I ordered limits USB to 96kHz/24bit. What will happen if I buy the 192kHz/24 version? I have never ordered from HDTracks.

    The big question is........what does your player or dac decode? If you can't utilize the higher data rates, why pay for it?

Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.

    The P5 that I ordered limits USB to 96kHz/24bit I think that the Oppo DAC will do 192kHz/24

    How will the P5 handle the higher bitrate,or will it handle it at all? I could just order the lower bitrate l am sure that would work with bith DACs

    Well I just started to read something saying that 192 could sound worse.

    I couldn't find the info on the particular remaster
    When shopping and downloading hi-res I try to research the native format at remaster and download that format
    Now if you want the 192 get it and run through the Oppo dac
