It happens on all topics, not only acoustics. The real fights start when
someone tries to scientifically demonstrate creationism :P
Anyways, going back to the original topic, no matter if DAC, resampling,
bad software, analog amplifiers or whatever the problem is, a lot of
consumer devices distort when playing high frequencies (I think
everybody agree on this). It may be the reason for some recordings start
filtering a bit before 20Khz...
It is weird that my Delta 66 also seems to distort at 44100 (though much
less noticeable) and is perfect at 96000, but it may be completely
different reasons I would say.
This is utter hogwash. All the signal energy and
resolution is
preserved to exactly the limits of the sampling rate at all lower
frequencies, even if your 'biggest dots' aren't landing at 0dB or
wherever. True of audio signals, true of images, true of video. The
same discrete sampling lessons apply to all three equally.
'Utter hogwash' is exactly the right description.
I'm getting quite tired of having to fight that sort
of nonsense. It seems to be an endemic feature of
'democratic science'.
