Re: tape transferring

It is not at least for pcm audio. The reason being is this once you go above 96000kHz samplerate all the soundcards that can do higher add noise into the signal. Each card is different on the how, where and how much but to my knowledge none of them can sample without adding extraneous noise into the signal at 192. There is a reason why high end stuff like pro tools doesn't support 192 samplerates. You also have the law of diminishing returns kicking in at this point since the there is no perceptable difference when listening to something at 96 or 192. It maybe a more accurate reproduction of the original analog signal but the trade off is double the filesize with no audible advantage. If you want higher than 96 then the way to go is dsd encoding like what is used for sacd.
