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 . . . .??


Up to a point, yes. but as someone else here pointed out - over ~8kHz
humans cant distinguish the difference between sine, triangle, sawtooth,
square at all. thats well below 22kHz.

I think the point made was over 8k sine and square was indistinguisable.
I would expect someone who's hearing went beyond 16k to tell the rest apart.
