Perhaps the Diagram below makes my point better......I cannot find a similar diagram for the 861v6, so I'll have to use a 568 Diagram.......the internal architecture & philosophy will be similar

The ONLY thing that HS=No affects is on the very right hand side of the Diagram, i.e. the Digital Outputs

Therefore, when using an 861v6, ALL Streams will have been Apodized and RE'd up to 24/88 internally.........selecting HS=No will simply Downsample the material to 24/44

The question then becomes: "Will the Positive effects of applying the Apodizing filter to the Recording be reversed by the Downsampling process at the digital outs???".......... Personally, I think the answer is No

Therefore, drawing any conclusions about Apodizing by simply Flicking the HS Switch is a dangerous one IMHO..........the Data Stream will have been Apodized and RE'd anyway.........you would only be comparing a 24/44 version of a data stream that had been derived from an identically processed 24/88 one
