As I said elsewhere, IF I REALLY, REALLY try, I think I can hear a noticeable difference at 96 or 192 on SOME stuff. Now in a full mix of a band? No way... but that may be just ME! I'm not willing to burn the CPU cycles and disk space on "maybe".

What you here in that case are artifacts from the higher spectrum causing distortion due to interference (or hopefully imagination if it's a well-built system)... There's really nothing but trouble if you go that high.

As for DXD... This really don't capture any higher freqs than 20000 it just uses high sampling rate to compensate for low bitrate (I think it's 8 bits for DXD). However, at least DSD was said to have a lot of energy out of band which caused a lot of trouble. Don't know about DXD, it's supposed to be a lot better.

I'd be all for a 60khz, 20bit PCM standard... Not likely to happen though with this samplerate race going on. Thankfully there's people like Lavry who won't compete with the others...
