My question was referring to the No. 1 scenario. Of course we aren't talking about live "live", we're talking about direct, analog feed of live. Your answer, "No". even with "best equipment" we have today. OK.But as for No. 2, I've heard people who disagree but perhaps they were less critical that you.
And as for No. 3, aren't we really talking about upsampling? That seems to be a whole other debate that drags in issues like synchronus versus asynchronus upsampling. There are cetainly people who say they can here a difference there.

Upsampling, sure, but also digital EQ, as you mentioned, which would certainly be noticeable and sometimes desirable.I have to agree with T. Krieger, there is something sonically wrong with asynchronous upsampling.
Good 24/96 native PCM is pretty damn good, but it still doesn't have the same ease and "grounded" feel as good analog reproduction. Maybe a 32-bit, 384kHz native PCM recording would have it...but would take up a hell of a lot of data space.
1/ asynchronous upsampling is obviously
not the best practice.
2/ One can well hear AD/DA stages
