Meaningless. The biggest myth is that bit depth makes a bigger difference then sample rate. Nonsense. I know this from my own high rez location recordings.
As a matter of fact many mastering engineers know this good and well.
DSD is excellent despite being 1 bit.
Bottom line is there is no reason for the 44.1 Khz sample rate to exist any more.

I agree wholeheartedly. I have an NOS dac using AD1856 chips which can only handle 16 bits. In terms of sampling rate, however, the chips can go over 100 Fs. I have listened to a lot of 24/96 music, which comes out at 16/96 of course, and the sound is glorious. You get all the hires magic with the 96 KHz sampling rate, not the bits.
Spot on. I will take 16 bits and 96 Khz over 24 bits, 44.1 Khz any day.
I have about a dozen CDs with corresponding 44.1/24 downloads and they are UTTERLY indistinguishable.
Even Bernie Grundman, the great mastering engineer uses an ADC that works in 192/18 bit. Yes that is right. That is how they did the Eagles remasters.
