<div>I would assume to not notice a difference right away. I imagine it similar to getting used to MP3 compression: at first, you don't notice anything weird with 128kbps, then you learn to recognize the artifacts, then you hate them. Or pictures that are blurry because they were resized and not postprocessed. I guess generically the best resampling filter is a windowed sinc filter, and I know that they are noticeable in image processing. I don't know yet if it's noticeable in audio, though.</div>

major release that lets you dynamically switch sample rates on your<br>
device (with some caveats). This should handle most cases that you care<br>
about.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, that would fit my use case nicely. I guess one could write plugins for media software to try to set the sample rate of the device.</div><div><br></div><div>CC</div></div>
