Sound quality of Prime 4 is superior to all others testes.. why?

Recording at 24bit @ 192kHz from a playback is just utter nonsense to do, but by all means if you believe in it, that’s fine, of course! :+1:t2:

Curious where you record from and what source the recording had?

If it’s a vinyl record, CD-quality settings are sufficient. That vinyl record most likely had a source master recorder with magnetic tape (Studer usually) and those had a noise floor of about -78dB. A turntable isn’t any better either. CD-quality 16bit @ 44kHz has a noise floor of -96dB, so sufficient for the task.

To circumvent the Nyquist frequency issue, you could go up to 48kHz.:relieved:

Playback of the recording is fine as well, no need for high resolution: https://youtu.be/UqiBJbREUgU

Only if you are the producer of the master recording and want to store that audio signal digitally, then 24bit @ 192kHz might be a good idea.
