Well, generally you don't record or mix in 16/44 - that indeed wouldn't be good enough. You record in 24/96 or something, and then only at the end do you step down to 16/44. If that final step were audible, the following experiment should have detected it: > [c) I have not read about that, can you give me pointers? http://www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?elib=14195 So, based on the above (plus more than a century of scientific data on psychoacoustics and the physics of audio) I think we can very confidently conclude that 16/44 is good enough as a medium for consumers of recorded audio. Now you seem to be claiming that there is some deep dark problem due to aliasing or something that afflicts all digital recording. Without more details I can't address that, but I can say I don't buy it :-). I think the problem is that we are trying to reproduce a very complex 3 dimensional soundfield produced by a huge variety of objects in some particular recording venue using a couple of vibrating paper cones in our living rooms. The fact that we can get anywhere near is astounding. > Well, by the time you get to that theoretical maximum velocity, we're > shurely not talking about audio anymore.

You must be hallucinating - I recommend immediate medication (single malt is my personal favorite). -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51021 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
