Why do wish to record at 192k/24bit when I thought the wisdom you signed
up to was that 44.1K/16bit was transparent to human hearing?


44.1/48k 16-bit is fine for playback. Recording and processing at
higher bit rates or word lengths is sensible. It provides, for
example, extra headroom for live recordings. Information can all too
easily be lost, and once lost it can never be reliably recovered.
(That's entropy, man!)
