For those curious about the vinyl cutting at 192 kHz query in that interview and on this thread, I wanted to point out that there is a resounding lack of demand to support sample rates that high. Below are a couple of links for the interested. One is a paper from Dan Lavry, maker of arguably the most well-regarded converters in the industry today, on the limits of useful audio sampling frequencies. It is his well-founded opinion that somewhere around 60kHz is the very highest useful sampling rate you would ever need (he somewhat begrudgingly builds converters that function at 88.2 and 96k and believes strongly that 192kHz was a sampling frequency conceived in the marketing, rather than the engineering department). The second link is a thread posted to by a fairly large number of mastering houses regarding their ability to handle such files and the amount of requests they get to do so.

The oft-maligned 44.1 kHz sampling frequency has a lot more life to it than is in vogue to admit. Much of the baggage it has accumulated should more rightly be carried by the 16-bit wordlength and early converter technology. It's our conviction that the starting and working bit depth of mixes is a much more critical factor (24 please!) in the resultant quality of a final master than sample rate.
