Like so much opinion presented as "the actual fact" on net.audio, this is just hogwash. "Fuzziness" is independant of frequency, up to or even above the Nyquist limit, unless you consider fully precise aliased components (resulting from sampling too seldom) to be fuzziness. Noise and distortion are functions of the number of bits per sample and linearity. There *is* a fecund source of fuzziness WRT to digital audio, but I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to pinpoint its origin. Getting grumpy again (sorry) Doug Maisel
