This has absolutely nothing to do with file size and length of time. This has everything to do with sampling rate and Nyquist frequency. If you listen to the files after sample rate converting, which one is more adversely affected and why?

I flat out gave you the answer in my first post.

At a sampling rate of 44.1, the Nyquist is 22.05.
At a sampling rate of 22.05, the Nyquist is 11.025.
At a sampling rate of 11.025, the Nyquist is 5.5125.

What is the Nyquist frequency? A practical answer would be the frequency above which nothing can be sampled at that particular rate.

So at a Nyquist frequency of 11.025 kHz, which is more affected? Rain and tweets, or bass, kick and snare.
