Thanks for a suggestion but now, I won't do it. Music is _NOT_ a pure
sinusoidal waves and there are other things like attack, shape etc. The
primary mistake all those proponents of wonderful digital sound make is
assumption that analog audio ends at 20KHz. It doesn't. It doesn't end even
at 30KHz and higher. Its amplitude falls quite rapidly, yes, but there is no
such an abrupt cutoff at 22KHz.
Another reason, totally unrelated, for 24/96 is that is a standard de-facto
these days. All those 16/88 and 16/96 are not. And storage is dirt cheap
these days to save pennies by using some weird format.
