I've always thought that a soundcard whose clock
is able to work at
192KHz will be more precise than a soundcard whose clock is sticked to
48KHz, so there's a reason to buy a 192KHz soundcard... and work at
48KHz. :)
Ah, kind of like buying a big fat stereo even though you live in an
apartment building :) so you can get the precision listening at 10% volume.
I don't see any reason to work at 192KHz. Apart
from huge files,
Nyquist is on my side.
Err, NyQuil? Oh Nyquist ;) Took a little google to get that one about
the frequencies we are consiously aware of. Hm, I audiophiles probably
don't qualify as 'practical purposes' but I do here a whole lot of
bickering by them about the dynamics of CDs. I wonder if it is possile
for a well-trained sense of hearing to 'sense' frequencies beyond human
nyquist and get a psychoacoustic sensation from them anyway.
Thanks a lot for sharing, Ismael!
