One reason for recording at 96 or 88.2KHz is to make the anti-alias filters on the ADCs easier. You can design filters with a slower roll-off without risking aliasing of the sampled information. Subsequently downsampling to 48 or 44.1KHz using a well designed digital filter, won't then loose any information or reduce audio quality. The question is how much relevant audio information is really there - above 20KHz? -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40484 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
