RE: Many reasons...I'm sure, 192/24

Why on earth would any music company upsample red book asynchronously to 24 192 to archive? There are actually much better technical reasons to archive in DSD or DXD.

Upsampling leaves its own sonic signature depending on the software used. The question of whether touch up software will be used is another question. The marketing phrase 'master quality' that I first encountered in Linn downloads has no real meaning as it depends on the native recording rates and bit depths.

Archiving valuable analog recordings is a subject in itself and should not in any way be linked to MQA.

AS a matter of fact, when one compares the resampled 2L files to the DXD masters, they all sound different. The 2L MQA files played backed on HQ dacs are nothing to shout about either.
