Re: er...

Ok, that sounds intersting.

However, I still think that it ultimately boils down to simple lack of 'time-domain resolution' (which isn't the same thing as band-width or frequency response) and that this is intractable.

IMV, a 44.1Hz sample rate doesn't actually 'resolve' above about 8KHz (if that), whatever the various threorums say about 'reconstructing' frequencies above this with anti-aliasing et al.

Anyway, in the D/A process (which I would maintain is where the real conumdrum lies) you mentioned 'ringing' on signal edges with complex over-sampling filters, there is also the issue of phase-shifting of harmonic content (loss of 'time domain' coherence). Both of these profoundly effect perceived timbre, despite measuring as tiny numbers as 'THD'.
