well, thats true. i'll have to think more about what happens if you
put a DAT recorded at 48kHz into a DAT player, and connect it via
S/PDIF to a digital mixer using its own clock to run at 44.1kHz.
in fact, this (sample rate mismatch) seems to be one of the central
problems at Rittenhouse Recording these days, even to the point where
the owner is thinking of moving to 44.1kHz for all recording, just to
be able to cut the crap out of CD mastering! i'm trying hard to
convince him not to do that ...
