Then what is the purpose of this conversation?

MP3s can be perceptually transparent at around 192kbps for people with golden ears and even lower for regular people. Do we need anything more? Who knows... I know that if I save a 24/96 audio track or DVD-Audio rip I surely do *not* want XBMC to downsample it. There's already crap like PowerDVD and TMT doing that, thanks.
i may be wrong though!
