For a new format to take hold it needs to offer significant advantages over CDs. MP3 players are moving in because of size and storage space, but DVDs are the same size as CDs.
Sound quality really does not matter a great deal to most people.

48 for me. I have an Audigy 2. 'nuff said.

Hmmm...sounds tempting, but I would have absolutely no idea what I was doing. :?
I think I'd be a bit wary of overclocking etc...my DAW is OK for my needs mostly anyway. :wink:

Bit depth is important - best to stick with 24-bit and up for editing and as high as possible for recording.

I assume most stay with 24/32 bit till final render.

Interesting results. I was expecting far more folks would be using higher sample rates. Now I don't feel quite so inferior and cheesy. :-D Emphasis on "quite."

I always use 44.1 because I mix for CD and have limited CPU resources so it just makes sense to me.

I know for a fact that where i live, most people record at 48 kHz because it's standard, and i guess that's what makes the difference: what is the standard? I don't think 44.1 or 48 makes much difference soundwise...

11,025 Hz. Gives me that lo-fi sound. ;)

same here. If I changed from 44.1 to 48 i would probably trick my mind into thinking it sounded good, but if someone secretly changed it back i wouldnt notice.
