Default 16 bit vs 24 bit, 44.1khz vs 48 khz <-- please explain

The myth is the dynamic equivalent to the argument that 4 samples on a
20kHz sine wave will render it more accurately than 2, and 8 samples
even more so. That's not true either.


But 4 samples will render it more accurately in *time* than two.
Alternatively, a smaller quantization step will also. Quantization
could be said to "jitter" the conversion in either time or
amplitude.

Not such a much, except that the effect's greater for small
signals.
