Re: Full white paper by Dan Lavry on why 96kHz A/D/A beats out 192kHz

whilst i don't necessarily completely disagree with Dan, i thought the paper was a bit simplistic or too "theoretical" - it ignores practical and real world considerations that may favour 192/24 over 96/24 over 48/24.

in any case, the original reason for high sampling rates and high bit depths was not necessarily because "more is better" - it was to give recording studios headroom during the recording and mixing process.

therefore, given that the recordings are already in a particular sample rate/depth, why not preserve that in the consumer delivery format? i would prefer no resampling or bit depth flattening, regardless of whether there is any theoretical benefits from high sampling rate in the first place.
