I have been listening to audio in 192, 176, 88, 48 and 44.1khz. At first I thought that I could here much more clarity and detail in the higher sample rates. Then I down sampled some 192 and 96khz audio to 48khz. I could here no difference in quality. I use a mac mini and sometimes a Fiio X3 as a dac. I listen through ATH-M50 cans and Bose 201 speakers. When I look at a spectrograph at the audio files that I have converted to 48khz, the graph looks full and fat. I am no scientist, but from my ear 48khz sometimes sounds better than 44.1, but no different from anything higher. Are there more like me that would rather have more free space than extra ones and zeros?
