But, 16/44.1 can handle both rough at the edges, and very well recorded - as a means of storage of "all that matters" - the noise floor of 16/44.1 I have never found to be a limit; poor judgement, mistakes in mastering have always been the causes of something that seemed not quite right that in what I've come across.

 

Things like needing dither ... one has to create an extreme listening situation, to clearly hear the effects of not applying dither to CD tracks - a situation which would never happen in any listening to a music CD.

 

Have you tried these audibility tests?
