We know that this statement seems contradictory. The sample rate determines the "frame rate"
through the Xstream's DSP. Therefore, higher sample rates result in reduced delay.
However, the higher sample rate also increases the amount of raw data. This requires a higher
compression ratio to get the data to the target transmission rate. Therefore using the increased
sample rate may cause more audible artifacts, as compared to a lower rate.
