Creative Audigy2 is cheating

hi,

I think creative audigy2 is cheating at samplingrates <=48kHz (at the standard settings), too force users to think that 44.1/48kHz is not to be adequate for music.

I was playing around with upsampling and noticed that the upsampled 96kHz Version of a 44.1kHz sample sounds quite different to the original.

After I changed some settings in the Creative Audigy2 Setuptools they sound the same.

I switch again to the "standard" Creative settings (just klicking - restore standard) and it sounds different again.

CMSS is enabled by default --> the reason things sound different when you click "Restore Defaults".

that's the point... joe user don't touch the settings and think 96kHz has to be much brighter, better etc.
