sample size is 24 bits in this discussion. sample rate is 192kHz. Per Nyquist, with a 192kHz sample rate, the maximum sampled frequency is 192/2 or 96kHz The frequency bandwidth then has a theoretical value of 0 Hz to 96kHz. One might talk about the signal stream bandwidth, which contains 24 bits times 192k samples of 24 bits each, times two for stereo or six for 5.1 But very few discussions care about this. A stream of stereo 24/192 music would take about ten megabits per second of bandwidth. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
