Re: Vinyl introduces a lot of failings
I get the impression that CD was introduced for the classical world, having no crackle during the quieter parts of the music.
But the 16-bit 44.1Khz sample resolution is archaic.
44.1 was chosen due to the mastering hardware using some video timing or something. 16-bit was obviously the best they could do at the time.
So while many question why you need to go beyond 16-bit for music, I'd say we can easily put to rest the audiophile arguments about lost harmonics with CD if we have higher resolution audio.
Even the soundtrack of your blu-ray films are recorded at a higher resolution (although with lossy compression doh).
