Re: 32kHz upsampled to 44.1kHz - lossy?

32kHz DAT cuts off at a similar place to 128kbps cbr mp3 ... however it doesn't introduce slurry mp3 artifacts into the lower frequencies.

I'm not saying 32kHz DAT is ideal but it is a lot better than mp3 imo. hopefully a better source will show up at some point.

As for converting to 16bit/44.1kHz that's just what happens since we're still fixated on compatability with audio cdr format. There's no rule against posting 48kHz FLAC but its rare, rare, rare to see that (and always causes a lot of confusion to the average user...).
