Re: Lol, round the bend
CD oversampling is a method of anti-aliasing, nothing more. A sharp-edged digital anti-aliasing filter is trivial and requires only a faster D-A converter, a few bytes of memory, and simple math. A comparable quality filter in analog is nearly impossible due to the precision of components that would be needed.
A CD would make screechy hissing noises with no anti-aliasing. It's the nature of running the sample rate so close to the Nyquist rate
192 kHz 24 bit recordings are used during editing to increase the dynamic range and robustness while applying heavy processing.
