Oh, had I known upmixing the sample rate from 44.1khz to 96khz sounded better, I would have done it sooner.

I can't tell when music is bitmatched and neither can you. It's for audio mixing.

You clearly know a lot about analog bitrates

did you just say "analog bitrate"?

Ok - Bandwidth, if your going to anal about it.. I think you need to read up a bit on analog sound signals and think about what you do to it when you adjust your volume

I do understand that when the amplitude of a wave increases, the volume increases.

I'm not sure I know what you mean then, I think you were referring to either sample rate, bit depth or digital bandwidth. Uncompressed analogue signals don't have the bandwidth (information/time) and [I think] that is what you are referring to; like a bitrate of 320kbps. I'm fairly sure analogue signals have an infinite bandwidth in this respect? (Like a vinyl)

Bandwidth in respect to an analogue signal could refer to the width of an actual wave.

I do beleive analogue signals can transmit digital data (like cable and radio), but not in the context of this discussion.

I think you might be confusing digital information that is to be converted witha DAC (digital to analogue converter) to an analogue signal.
