I have never run into the problem as asked. I would say some electronics, etc. have greater resolution, but a few of them also sound like crap.. and a few of them sound really good. So I have to say it is not a compromise in my mind.
That is: higher resolution is not usually connected to having to endure bad recordings sounding even more like crap than before. (but then I can listen to a poor recording of a great performance and be happy. Unlike some who cannot stand to do so.)
(Plus, I am only in the mid-Fi camp.. having middle of the road equipment. If I had $200,000. in stuff wired up.. I might be in a different position to argue one way or another.)
As it now is for me, I can find equipment that gives me better resolution without problems of bad recordings sounding worse.
