OMFG. 400kHz sampling?

I dont think even a bat could hear the top end of the frequecy range
that allows.


But the point isn't the maximum frequency, it's the content of the
audible waveform . . . .

Remember the idea . . . increased frequency of sampling allows you to
reconstruct a waveform closer to the original analogue form . . . .??



That idea is well-known to be false.

And let's face it, a lot of 'musicality' is based on harmonics and the
interplay of notes, so you really do want a pretty big sampling rate
to make sure you catch it all . . .


Dumb, dumb, dumber!
