Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Re: I wasn't comparing formats really.

I am a bit lost here. We all agree that CD sound is edgy. But is it really because 16/44 does not offer enough bits to record all subtleties of music?

I remember having read over the years several statements stressing that 16/44 offers enough bits and there was no need for hi-rez formats. If that is the case we are chasing the wrong cat.

Could the chief culprit be the 20kHz brickwall filter which makes CD sound edgy? Could it be that upsampling allows to soften the brickwall and make CD sound similar to current hi-rez formats?
