Interesting. Since I know nothing about crystals, and can barely do multiplication and division, what's the common frequency that works for 44.1 and 96 but doesn't work for 88.2? isn't 88.2 just twice whatever works for 44.1? I've never understood why 96K is so much more popular than 88.2. I know all the early ADAT stuff ran at 48K, so 96K is a natural doubling. But 88.2 seems such a natural improvement from 44.1. I have heard bad resampling of 96K to 88.2K. Its not clear that bad resampling is better than good recording at 44.1 to start.
