Hi Curt,
I don't see the bottom line yet.
How does metadata being important suggest that high sample rates are not? M=
aybe they are both important. These listening tests that we refer to are ab=
out marketing music only, and they only show we think we can hear no differ=
ence. There are many things that we cannot consciously describe that do ind=
eed affect mind and body. And then there is species and ecosystem documenta=
tion - what about all that communication above 20k?
