Theory behind 96 khz sampling over 44.1/48 khz sampling have been discussed to death already.
This time I am looking for opinions based on experience and sonic impressions on the following:
What CD would sound better, initially recorded at 24/44.1 and converted to 16/44.1 or recorded at 24/96 and converted down to 16/44.1?
Destrictive as conversion process said to be, my hearing tell me that tracks recorded at 24/96 sound smoother, with tighter but generally louder bottom end.
What is your preference?
