Hi there, Thanks for getting in touch. I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you, we weren't ignoring you! 

Good question- all of the files on SoundCloud are transcoded to stream at 128kbps.  

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!

I believe it simply supports your theory that uploading 24/44.1 is best practice for the best quailty since they will most likely transcode even an already 128kpbs (yet again) and scrunch up the sound.

The Coffee House Band does. Our files are streamed at 320kbps.
