True. There are no published studies to indicate that any human can distinguish between a 24/96 (say) master and its correctly downsampled 16/44.1 equivalent. Of course there is a gargantuan pile of anecdotal evidence to the contrary... people will hear/believe what they want to hear/believe. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
