But even with *true* hi-res material, there's close to nothing above 22 kHz. Microphones are bandwith limited, and a lot more than you could think about, mind you, and they're the real limiting factor.
This is what a true 24/96 studio master looks like: [image: http://squeeze.le-seb.org/Stranded-180-270.png] There are traces of frequencies >22kHz, but at -120dB. If you can hear them, you're a bat. -- sebp 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/sebp) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sebp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11768 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88756 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
