As to 96 kHz vs. 48, unless you have the very best converters the only difference you will hear is that _your hardware_ performs better at 96 Khz. This doesn't mean that the higher rate is better by itself. If you can hear a difference when using e.g. Apogees please report and then I'll challenge you for a blind test. :-) -- FA Follie! Follie!
