Are high sample rates making your music sound worse?

Shucks!
You got me there GK!
Slip Of the proverbial finger 
Oh well, my findings still stand no matter.

Why don't you try yourself, instead of asking stupid questions and making stupid comments,and find out - as clearly you have either ..
a -  not tried or
b - have cloth ears or
c Have rubbish equipment
or maybe as I believe all 3
Please report back as clearly your findings and opinions are so accurate

If I listen to a Jaguar engine when it is away from me in a garage and compare it to the sound if I was standing next to it, would I hear a difference?  It is the same sound isn't it ... so according to you must sound the same

@uberwaltz congrats on your new Ayon and your experience sounds about right upsampling can help some recordings and not others. As with all recordings the initial mastering/recording quality matters most.

My experience is that the worse recordings are improved more than the better recordings - which seems logical to me. As you say, a good recording is a  good recording, regardless. A poor recording of Band of Gold - Freda Payne - gets some sort of life in it, but no matter what, I find nothing can bring Ultravox to any life at all! Were their recordings known to be poor?
