The endgame should be that we can now all get better quality 48k.
I would have thought that the difference in audio quality between 44k1
and 48k would be marginal, if at all discernible to the human ear.
Yes. The difference is generally likely to be somewhere between slight and
undetectable *if the conversion is done well*. However from the POV of the
audiophile engineer *any* conversion can be expected to degrade the results
by losing some info. Just a question of degree. So best to avoid them if
you can.
Yes I agree, best left alone. I've come across some examples on the net
myself.
[1] For some examples of how digital 'improvements' can muck up audio, have
a look at http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/HFN/HealthCheck/CD.html OK, this is
from Audio CDs but it shows what can go on.
Fascinating article, even though some of the detail went over my head,
it certainly illustrated the dangers of remastering engineers not really
understanding all the ins and outs of the task.
Thanks
Alan
