From my limited understanding I gained the impression that
192kHz was losing the 24 bit resolution.
Quote: "There is a tradeoff between speed and accuracy" and
"Sampling audio signals at 192KHz is about 3 times faster
than the optimal rate. It compromises the accuracy which
ends up as audio distortions."
So surely if higher sample rates lose bits then *IF* you
only have 1 bit to start with it would be very hard to lose
it. Or if you did then that would be very sad indeed ;-)
I read this as higher sample rates are good *if* you had the
processing power not to lose bits. So like I said I would
have been more interested in the comparison with SACD/DSD as
it would seem it overcomes the problems as presented in the
article.
BTW to quote from the above again "Sampling audio signals at
192KHz is about 3 times faster than the optimal rate" so it
would appear he says the optimal rate is approx 64kHz. So
where does that leave your 44.1kHz which is perfect in your
opinion? I believe I could live with 64/24 CDs quite nicely
;-)
