Why Andrew Scheps Loves Our Dante Card

"If I open up a 88.2 kHz session, most of the Dante network will just switch to 88.2 kHz and everybody just talks to everybody else and is super happy. However, the (Dolby Atmos, ed.) renderer would not be happy, but the Dante Card has built-in samplerate conversion so I can fix it to 48 kHz.
(...) So, the idea I'm samplerate converting in and out of the renderer - if I'm not working on a 48 kHz session - sounds like it would take a huge sonic hit, but I can't tell the difference between 48 kHz with the samplerate conversion and 48 kHz without it. It's that transparent - it's genius!"
(Andrew Scheps)

Once you have heard your audio at its finest and most transparent, chances are you won't go back!
Because converting your audio between the analog and digital domains, as well as between different digital samplerates are critical points in your signal chain.

Yes, getting into the digital console in the most transparent way possible does indeed preserve the original sound, which usually calls for use of much less additional processing - and an overall better sound.
And this is naturally every bit as true in Live Sound as it is in the studio.
