Sorry if this adding to the confusion but no one has
mentioned 96kHz sampling rate?
Would this make 'more' of a difference than 24 bits
would perhaps to any recording?
I have seen reports by various people who have used
96khz saying that they felt the 'stereo imaging' was
much better defined especially at the HF end with much
less 'smearing' of the image at these upper
frequencies.
So perhaps those that can should record 24 bit 96khz?
OK delivering such a recording on CD is probably not
going to benefit from sampling at 96khz, but Super
Audio CD's would.
