Default Music downloads at 24/192 make no sense...

I recorded a string quartet using very good violins yesterday. The

shortest
possible signal chain pre A/D conversion, so it was a good chance to
compare the actual sound quality of an R44 using different sample rates,
on that actual recorder the cleanest record-replay was at 192 kHz sample
rate. Equipment used: quality condenser mic, minimalist preamp, Edirol

R44,
Sennheiser HD25 headphones.


"Cleanest" in what way?


Probably clean from the experimental controls that normally used for this
kind of evaluation when it matters. E.g. ITU BS 1116-1.
