Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

RE: Human condition is complex and evolving.

A few years ago I researched the beginnings of cd/digital.
The one thing I noticed was that the engineers almost unanimously demanded sample rates above 44.1kHz and bit depths higher than 16 which would have required 2 discs to store one albums worth of music.
That was when the marketing departments took charge and demanded ONE disc for convenience and the only way possible to do that back then was to reduce the quality to 16/44.1 despite less then optimal audio performance due to the necessary brickwall filters and the resulting phase shift in the treble region.
