Wow! Interesting attitudes here on this list.

One major A/D convertor maker says that 96k is perfect and 192 worse
for audio - just so you know, Walt, that some people don't aim too
high! Other extoll 384k.

I have known a number os "audiophile" types who believe that different
pieces of wire make huge differences in sound, and use words for the
sound differences that have no audio meaning and the differences annot
be verified with any tests. THOSE are the emperors, who strangely have
no clothes yet very deep pockets.

But facts to one crown are imaginary to another, and that applies in
many ways! One could say the inferiority of 16 bit is an illusion,
too... but it is testable and verifiable.

I let it go as well for here and now!
