Zaxcom markets specifically to the film & TV production world which has scant 
interest nor time for sample rate conversion in post production. It's simply 
not a market where anyone can afford the luxury of being precious about a 
theoretical quality advantage when the acoustic conditions under which they 
record are generally already far worse than 16 bit 44.1k. In many cases these 
guys are struggling to get even 3 dB of dialog precedence over the background 
ambience.
