In Reply to: Full white paper by Dan Lavry on why 96kHz A/D/A beats out 192kHz posted by High-end Dreamer on May 28, 2004 at 06:08:21:
The major weakness of Dan Lavry's main arguments against the higher sampling rate (eg file size storage costs & reduced accuracy at higher sampling rates) is that they become increasingly less valid as technology continues to improve.Even with today's technology, though, conversion chips that sample at higher rates, everything else being equal, generally are constrained to generate and to be designed into environments having less jitter which is an absolute improvement. I think this is analogous (yes, I still prefer analog) to the situation where many DVD players sound better with CDs than dedicated CD players(not high end) do - the allowable worst case performance is more tightly constrained for the higher throughput media and repro equipment in certain audibly significant aspects.
Plus, I haven't been convinced that getting sampled information more correctly placed in time, even down to the low microsecond range, doesn't improve the musicality of reproduction since good musicians cue to under millisecond intervals and occasional phase lock even happens between different musicians playing at the same fundamentals and harmonics.
