Just listen through your interface, and compare to what you hear

That's the experience I've had here also
with my RME Multiface II:
Despite that it's been regarded as a nice interface (and it is!), I've found
that it's *much* darker sounding at 44.1/48kHz, and only seems to have full
clarity in the treble at 96kHz. Since I really doubt that my ears need the
ultrasonic frequency response that desperately to get nice treble, I'd say
it's probably the filters, owing the effect you're describing and others
have mentioned in other threads in the past.
How do I test this? Do I need to record something at the different
samplerates, or is it sufficient to just playback some material? Can't
say I've noticed much difference in sound quality so far, but I
haven't been listening *very* carefully..
