Are high sample rates making your music sound worse?

Since no one >10 can hear over 20kHz, there is no point to listening to something like 192kHz in the first place, if your amp can even properly playback such high frequencies, all you are doing is increasing the chances of driving your tweeter into distortion.

mzkmxcv, I agree with you with the exception of the vinyl to digital transfer that I mentioned above. Anyone know why that would stand as an exception?

So if you read the article it's not really about upsampling being bad it's about Digital recorders with crappy analog output stages sabotaging the sound, Just as with a consumer Dac ultimate sound quality is more about the analog output stage, and power supply, than the Dac chip or sampling rates. Glad it reinforces my own thinking!

I don’t know jond, we’re just having a conversation.

@goofyfoot I was joining the conversation I thought and what do you mean by you don't?
