. . . than sampling rate increases are. (EDIT: I mean more audible as improvements to the sound quality.) And although I'm in favor 24/96 hi-rez recording/playback myself, some of the best-engineered recordings I've EVER heard are on Nishimura DVD-Audios at 24/48.And BTW, the guy did touch on the subject of transients and rise-times in his video in what I thought was a convincing fashion. He also spoke about square waves (not just sine waves) in the video too.
Frankly, I think the guy is generally correct, even though I personally favor 24/96. No reason to be dismissive ("Sonny"). The anecdotal data you refer to is just that.

I concur- Chris.
for hi-rez, I also prefer 24/96.
Too much like a North Korean Political Re-Education Camp.

. . . I wouldn't know. (But I suspect it's not so much!)
But the link to the video is in my reply to Todd's post up above in this thread (in the unlikely event that you change your mind - LOL!).
Oh what the heck, here it is again:
Nobody has ever experienced it. The moment they decide you need it, they shoot you and feed you to the dogs!
JUST KIDDING!!!!!!

The best digital audio I've ever heard were those Telarc Soundstream recordings, which was 16/50 transcribed to vinyl. Before anyone had even heard of "sampling" or "jitter".
Yes, they were and are great recordings. I especially love the Firebird

Thomas Stockham understood dither, specifically TPDF dither, which was a trade secret of his at the time. Also, the machines were kept in good calibration. Also, 50 Khz was not obviously inferior to the tape machines of the time, unlike 44.1 kHz. Even so, there were more than a few audiophiles who did not care for these recordings in LP form. I don't think his digital recorders were nearly as good as 30 IPS master tapes.

Telarc in those days had great orchestras and excellent engineering. We recorded at my studio in 30ips which was very, very good but the Soundstream was very close
