Well as described oversampling is used both in recording and playback . So it's about the intermediate carrier to the listener . In that case a modern DAC would not even theoretically have problems playing back 44.1 it's doing at much higher rate anyway so it could be made watertight that way . And the reducing to 44.1 from something much higher is carried out in software at the record company no messing around with analogue filters in this case It is perfectly reconstructed sound 0-20khz in our audible range . So eventual "non nyqvist" ? behaviour is outside the bandwidth we care about anyway, why cares if the DAC is not perfect at 100kHz it sure is at 20kHz . So the argument should be about the format of delivery to a consumer for that format to carry all information that we can hear it's enough if it is sampled to that limit. And as said it can be perfectly reconstructed from such information, the weapon of choice is in many cases oversampling . -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
