I'm just looking at it simplistic terms.
if 96,000 kHz / second is better than 44,100.
then why wouldnt 2.8million be any less?
is a 35mm camera better than 110?
If sample rate is irrelevant...they why record higher than redbook in the fist place?
I dont need to understand it to embrace it. I just like the way it sounds. I think its better than my PCM masters of the past.
I dont think its the "2nd coming" or anything. but I like it ... a lot.
I think the meat of my recordings lie in the ApogeeMMP ...personally.
I'm of the opinion that the analog stage is the most important...., thats why I am also such a fan of the Oade mod 660. I dont care what resolution it is, it just sounds great.
same deal here for me.
it boils down to does DSD mastering sound better than PCM mastering.
to me...yes.
Cheskey seems to agree as well.
