Yea, the Xing encoder cuts off everything above 16Khz as well (at least
thats what was on mp3bench.com). You wont notice anything above 14.5 like
you said, even if you had nice speakers. A good test of your hearing is
your television, when you turn it on, with no sound, the gun (if it has a
tube) occilates at about 18khz. Some people can hear this noise, some
people cant- and its very strange to hear it- So, if nothing else, above
18Khz is useless...
