Maybe I'm naive, but I think it's always best to mix to the highest resolution possible (analog or digital) no matter what the present-day consumer format happens to be. I want to be sure the best possible master is available for future re-mastering, when higher-res consumer media become readily available.

Sure, but consumers are more interested in the emotional side than the information content.
You hear a lot about 24 bits, etc., but the meat and potato's in music is like 10 to 40db.
There must be more to it, since the right song on my clock-radio still makes me smile.

There's little sense in re-mastering a 16/44.1 DAT for 24/96 down the line, right? Aside from advances in processing that might become available, you won't gain any real dynamic range or frequecy response, because you've limited yourself out of the gate.

One of the common problems with remasters is trying to make it "competitive" level-wise, which is a mistake, and ruins years of work in many cases.........
