Nice to see this is working. I'd be curious to know how you think the

Evidently even both together don't make an audible difference, so it's
hard to answer your question. In any case I suspect the relevant thing
is the information capacity - which involves a product of bit depth and
sampling frequency. So I'm not sure it's a binary choice like that.
