We used to discuss this topic almost endlessly and Nika being a pretty focused kinda guy took the opportunity to at least get the cards out on the table.
In the end all the consternation proved to be of little enduring sonic value and by looking at the content of this thread the arguments remain nearly identical to this day. For me the fuel ran out of my sample rate furnace years ago. I've heard all the spec combinations sound good and all sound bad.
It's ironic to note however that Nika has not been in the audio world for years now and last I heard he was practicing law in New York City. I'm guessin' the fuel ran out on his sample rate furnace as well
