剛在 saw forum看到一篇有關 的貼, 誰有時間翻譯一下....還有一篇是關於為何cd使用 44.1khz,可惜暫時沒找到。
I've come to place my own views firmly in the Dan Lavry camp that the 4xFs rates (176.4kHz, 192kHz) are completely a marketing ploy and yields no audible benefits over the 2xFs (88.2kHz, 96kHz) rates whatsoever. Those claiming audible gains of 4xFs over 2xFs have not convinced me they are experiencing anything more than the placebo effect.
There are indeed some benefits to recording at the 2xFs rates that has actual basis in science - the biggest being that the anti-aliasing filters do not have to be as steep as those at 1xFs - and for the "audiophiles" peace of mind the perhaps less important fact that you will indeed be able to capture all harmonics being produced (even non-audible ones) that are indeed capturable with a microphone. Pretty much all of these benefits could be achieved easily with a sampling rate of 64kHz though.
However the 4xFs rates simply are requiring more speed at the input of the ADC at the possible sacrifice of accuracy - plus requiring lots more cpu power in order to process - with the further disadvantage of making a session clumsy to work with if you are dealing with a lot of tracks and processes in the digital realm.
Seems that for the most part the sound of a converter often has more to do with the quality of the analog components in it than the sample rate being recorded - i.e. I'd rather record using a Mytek or a Lavry at 1xFs than use something like a mediocre converter at 4xFs any day of the week.
Obviously - YMMV.
As far as what converters are being used for classical recordings:
Some stuff is being recorded to DSD with solutions by folks like
dcs, Meitner, Digital Audio Denmark (DAD), Genex.
For high end PCM solutions also look at the above companies offerings along with the likes of Lavry, Mytek, Benchmark, DAD, Weiss, Apogee, Lucid, & Lynx Aurora.

If I could record and mix at 192
Khz without any limits I would do it.
To me it sounds much more open, dynamic and airy.
I have a Fireface and an Athlon 64X2 dual core which is quite powerful
combined with Sawstudio.
I can do a session on 88.2 or 96
Khz and go quite far until I hit the limit.
Before that I used an Athlon 64 and Cubase.
Forget processing @ 96
Khz with plug ins, all I ever could do was one track full of FXs.
In Sawstudio I could do at least 3 times more processing.
So much for efficiency!
The only limits for 192
Khz are processing and hard drive space. But if you have it
AND if you can hear the difference you should try it!
Also what I like to do when archiving stuff I record @ 192 and then downsample to 44 or 48.
Sounds a little clearer to me than just 44 or 48.
BUT Sawstudio sounds already amazing @ 44,1!
sorry for the long post
Michael
