suggest strongly that when the DA conversion is done properly, there is
no audible difference between a sample rate of 48 kHz and any higher value.
OTOH, he only found one type of DAC that was good enough in order to be
completely free of audible artefacts at 48 kHz (by Apogee, and they are
quite expensive).
Is there an online publication of Mr Farina's findings? Google is not turning
up anything definitive for me.
Angelo Farino normally makes all his papers available on his web site,
but ISTR this one is not even published yet, and will be presented at
one of the upcoming AES conventions. So it's probably not available ATM.
I learned of his experiments on the Surround Sound mailing list where
he's a frequent contributor.
Go <http://pcfarina.eng.unipr.it> and follow the link 'Public Directory'
at the bottom.
