Wasn't Rupert Neve part of a study that indicates that humans perceive above 20KHz? Hard drive space is getting less expensive, connections to the Internet are getting faster, etc. then why spend money on more channels? More channels gets expensive from the studio to the listening room. I wish the industry would decide on one method to record and master and give us those files rather than recording at 24/96, but giving to us in 16/44 Redbook format or compressed MP3/4 files which sound worse than the original master. so unless someone records as 24/192 and gives us a 24/192 or records in 24/96 and gives us 24/96, then what is the industry really doing? First we have albums, then the cassette/8 track, then we have 16 bit CD, then we have DVD-A, SACD, BluRay, MP3, MP4, FLAC, Orbvorbis, DTS Master, TrueHD, etc, etc. Sounds like a lot of ways to charge money for different ways to sell the same recordings to the same people.
