Resurrecting an old thread, but a word of caution to anyone else who may have interest in this subject: Avoid the Rockbox developers. They're shockingly rude.
After chiming in on a recently revived thread about hi-res files, and mentioning that I did hear some differences between a 24/96 file on Rockbox and a resampled and dithered redbook version of the same tune, I received startlingly rude treatment and my posts were deleted, followed by direct messages that were quite disrespectful.
Whether it's just the developer forum or what, I don't know, but good god I'm stunned by the discourtesy. Maybe I'm just used to friendlier communities. I tried to back up what the developers were saying, and I got treated like an idiot. NOT a friendly place. Avoid them.
A pity, too, since it's a wonderful piece of software. Ah well. But yeah, given the option between playing hi-res files on a Rockboxed player and a 16/44 version, stick with the 16/44.
