It's probably not wise to be so quick to dismiss the viewpoint of "analogue cultism" until we have concrete research that confirms that humans are unable to perceive such differences.
Why wouldn't it be wise? I'm happy with my bitrate and I don't care whether analogue cultists are right or wrong. I can happily trim expenses
I'm not talking about right or wrong; I'm talking about acknowledging that there possibly are audible differences in the analogue and digital "sound" and that a preference for one or the other is totally subjective personal preference. I myself love the smell of aliased digital filters in the morning, but I will defend the preference of those with the squidy analogue love.
Best,
Chris.
