When combined, a 96kHz/24-bit FLAC file offers a level of detail, spatial realism, and dynamic range that is profoundly different from its CD counterpart. As one listener reported in a blind test, a 96/24 version of a classical recording offered "notably better... undeniably the dynamic range and top end (particularly) sounded better". High-resolution audio offers "greater detail" and a "clear tone and deeper sound across all volume ranges". You can hear the individual bow strokes of the solo violinist, the distinct placement of each string player across the soundstage, and the natural ambience of the hall, not as a wash of reverb, but as a tangible space.
