I worked as a professional audio and video engineer, among others for well known companies/artists. I never was missing anything at 48 KHz, when using professional equipment. I started working professional in the age of 16, today I'm 46 years old, not working in that business any more, but I did for nearly 30 years. My two TerraTec cards do sound better at 96 KHz than on 48 KHz, but even consumer Aiwa and Sony DAT recorders do sound better at 48 KHz, than the TerraTec at 96 KHz, not to mention outdated professional recorders did use 48 KHz only. > You have to realize that there's far more than nyquist > in play.
