Eerily similar to any pseudo-science like homoeopathy , there are actually some flawed studies in favor of it and they get quoted all the time . Here is the tool of meta analysis very good you compare many studies and can weed out the bad ones . good meta studies do try to weed out the outliers . Crusaders will ofcourse cherry pick an outlier studie that proves their point , like smoking is healthy (you can probably find one of those too ) And you can go about it the other way . in our case we know two things about freuency response . * We hear in the best case scenario 20-20k . * It's was shown in the 30's by Shannon Nyquist et all via the sampling theorem that we can capture complete information below half the Nyquist frequency . So 44k samplings gives complete information about 20-20k higher sampling does not improve this . So why is that DSD *playback* or hirez *playback* needed ? prove that point first . Like that when someone claims you need to align your chakras please prove that chakras exist first ;) I completely understands the rationale behind hirez *recording* there are tons of good reasons to do that . But the delivery format to us consumer is a separate issue imho -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
