Regarding your two files from different sources, since they are from different sources there may be something else going on here (other than just sample-rates). Technically, the 48 kHz file should have a higher kbps (kilo-bits-per-second) data transfer rate than the 44.1 kHz, because by definition i...

If you avoid any clipping above the 0db levels and you are within 32-bit floating mode, then the amplification performed with 32-floating point is very, very precise. Unlike older analog tape technology (which was inherently non-linear at amplification due to the limitations and complexities of elec...
