Unless you are proposing to record the exact movement of each air molecule during the performance (and then make it happen again) someone somewhere is going to have to make a judgment on what is audible, what is good enough. (If you ARE proposing the air molecule thing then it may be time for me to leave this thread!) The fact that all representations, analogue or digital, lose fidelity as the signal diminishes is IMO just maths, the nature of the animal, the way it is. All that we can discuss is the DEGREE of fidelity in the first place and therefore the DEGREE of remaining fidelity required at lower levels. This is, of course, a matter of debate and research with listening tests. And, I think, that is where the world was before this thread started.
