Re: Michi - - your thoughts on this . . .

Thanks for the reply, Michi. Some very interesting issues are coming out of this. By the way, my rationale for the 176.4kHz sample rate (work-in-process), is that because it’s an even multiple of 44.1kHz (source) and 88.2kHz (final product), no rounding or approximation is needed to get to it from the original 44.1kHz and subsequently (i.e. post mixing/editing) back to 88.2kHz for final delivery.

Moreover, it is done cleanly, jitter-less, and without aliasing artefacts. And this of course works fine for DVD-A in 5.1. (And there certainly would not be any "blurred high-end", "phase shifting" or "comb artifacts". etc. etc. -- as you put it -- by doing so).

As for "noise-shaping", just thinking, is such treatment really so necessary at the 32-to-24 bit resolution level? i.e. At these bit depths, isn't the dynamic range such that the least-significant bit is equivalent to the amplitude of noise at the atomic level anyway -- i.e. no sense going further? (at least for the final product, as opposed to work-in-process)?
