There is an interesting paper from a manufacturer at the other end of the c=
hain - dcs http://www.dcsltd.co.uk - entitled "A Suggested Explanation For =
(Some Of) The Audible Differences Between High Sample Rate And Conventional=
 Sample Rate Audio Material" This appears to have been presented to the AES=
 NY in 1997.

Again no real data to support the claims, but at least this paper explores =
some possible mechanisms which might explain the improvements in sound qual=
