and must not be used for critical projects downsampling. Some such as
Faulkner Downsampler (http://www.audiosignal.co.uk/freeware.html)
provide excellent results for 88.2>44.1 but don't work for 96k. 88.2k is
also easier to upsample to DSD.
96k sample rate, has in our opinion, a marginally better perceived sound
quality than 88.2k but the difference is very small and difficult to perceive
for most people. If the record is going to be mixed in analog domain, 96k
might be a desirable choice for tracking.
Mytek “SuperShaper-HR” ™
Noise Shaping and Dither
The Stereo96 A/D converter employs SuperShaper-HR™-a
sophisticated psychoacoustically optimized noise shaping and dithering
algorithm. SuperShaper-HR ™ uses 9th order high resolution noise
shaping filters with proprietary filter coefficients developed by Mytek Inc.
The appropriate noiseshaping curve is programmed into noiseshaping
filters. This feature allows for preserving most of 24 bit performance in 16
bit data output.

.
When noise-shaping processing is on, the quantization noise is removed
from the audio band, where the noise floor is kept as close as possible to
the 24 bit level, and moved to the 20-22 kHz range.
The noise-shaping filters are automatically engaged at appropriate levels
when 16 bit output marked "Supershaper HR" is selected. If 24 or 20 bit
bit output is selected, the noise-shaping filter is off.
