Actually, increasing the sampling frequency can remove some of the hardware issues with the implementation of brickwall filtering and the effect that it has on overall sound. Your mileage may very, though.
The Daves Picks that have been coming out are not well mastered in my opinion. They are very dark and just not EQ'd like Dead music should be. When you compare the quality to the earlier Dicks Picks, it is quite a difference. I was being lambasted for that opinion on Hoffman forums but it's very easy to hear if you have a good system.
