Default Ultra-High Sample Rate Discussion

BTW to quote from the above again "Sampling audio signals at
192KHz is about 3 times faster than the optimal rate" so it
would appear he says the optimal rate is approx 64kHz. So
where does that leave your 44.1kHz which is perfect in your
opinion? I believe I could live with 64/24 CDs quite nicely


64 would put the Nyquist limit at 30 kHz and that IMO would be a big
improvement over CD, and in fact, 96 really is probably enough. The
primary point is that 44 is NOT.


44.1 is at best *questionable*.

It's a real shame they didn't choose 48 since that would have made such
discussion much more academic.
