Hi again.. I am probably the least technical guy logging in here. This is fascinating and VERY enlightening and I really appreciate the time you all are spending sharing real world knowledge.

Why should 192 sample rate be avoided? is there a universal quantifiable disadvantage?


Are these correct statments?

In a given converter:

1)192 'can' give more audio bandwidth (audible or not)

2)If the filters, being an analog componant and fixed, are designed for 96, 192 sample rate would yield no extention of audio range over using the 96 sampel rate.

3)There will be more noise (or is that better expressed SRN) at 192 than at 96

4)more data will be recorded using the same bit depth at 192 than at 96.

Also, what specs should be looked at when deciding what converter and resolution to use?

Is the data even available (to me) to make proper choices?

thanks
