It may sound different, and you may prefer that sound, I can't argue with that part. But there is nothing good about pretending that something can get 3.9 kHz of signal out of the air, 44.1 kHz is not 48kHz. There is some claimed benefit to oversampling to an integer multiple of 44.1, say 88.2 or higher. But if the multiple is not an integer, whatever is added is not music. And any real benefit from oversampling or upsampling or other stuff is because when you are working with higher rates, you can use simpler analog filters that don't screw up phase as badly as the normal brick wall filters used for anti-aliasing at 22.05 kHz -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
