"From the mic feed, the analog signal was sent to either a 44.1 ADC or an 88.2 ADC of the same type (naturally) running at a different clock frequency."
Yes but what guarantee do we have that both units have identical performance? Also the physical location of any component can be relevant and the connections between them and the rest of the system are different as well.
For the DAC how do we know it sounds the same at both sample inputs?
"Many of us choose to listen to our high resolution recordings on devices other than portable players. :)"
Great and a good thing. Doesn't change the fact that this test asssumes both signal paths are identical and that the down sampling algorithm has no sonic effect.
