You're right Clark, but that's not the point.

The paper is not available to me, but I find the conclusions and the clarifying posts of interest. It seems to me that they have demonstrated that 16/44 is adequate if nothing goes astray. However as you point out, something usually does. I've found that CD's and players interact in unpredictable ways so perhaps a better way to express it would have been that a CD is capable of the same performance.

Reliable people report that higher resolution formats sound better. Now I wonder if part of that is that they may be more forgiving in some manner because they have data to spare. As far as I know, the CD format was originally a compromise of quality vs. recording time. As was the LP. Both good if everything works perfectly. And now we have MP-3...
