Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Lousy fresh juice vs. good juice from concentrate

A live microphone feed is better than any analog recording. A high resolution digital recording or a 30 IPS wide master tape are both essentially as good as a live microphone feed. Both are better than any consumer analog formats. The difference between the master tape and the digital recording is that the cost of the analog medium may be $75 while the cost of the corresponding digital media will be one hundred times less.

44/16 digital is technology that is 35 years old and totally obsolete. Its only value is to collectors of musical performances that had the misfortune to be recorded in this unfortunate format and to people looking for $1 bargains in thrift shop bins.
