Default Oversampling converters vs. high SRs

In other words, a 20K sine wave - and of course it's all sine waves - sounds identical sampled at 44.1KHz and at 96kHz - basic sampling theory, as you undoubtedly know.


If I'm digitising an analogue source such as a vinyl LP or tape, then
using the highest available sample frequency and bit depth lets me do
more in the way of throwing out clicks and other problems. There might
not be much if anything, recorded above 20 kHz, but clicks and pops go
way up...

Recording live, I record at the sample rate that matches the final
product, so for CD or other audio work, it's 44.1, or, rarely, when I'm
likely to have to clean stuff up drastically, 88.2 kHz, and for video,
it's 48 or 96.
