"Yes" recordings can be done at 96kHz for producing purposes . We are limited by our hearing usually below 20kHz so we reproduce what we can hear .
Some argue that 44.1 kHz is a close shave hence 48kHz is/was used in recording studios the last decades . Thats a bit off the history i don't know why not 16/48 on CD especially as early resampling was not fantastic ? Some say that about 20bit 50k should include even the most extraordinary humans under the best of circumstances. ( Bob Stuart , Meridians pre MQA ) hence 24/96 is the highest semi sensible rate to sell must at imo. Then we have practicality in recordings only close miced recordings get >20 khz and many mics is not very good and linear at these rates and the recording engineer is not a bat so he wont know . And the actual tecordings that contains listenable music ( not audiophile labels ) these recordings fits well within 16/44.1 I think QUAD was rigth sensible bandwidth limiting is a good thing , tweeter resonances and amplifier problems at high frequencies May actually make hirez audible but not for a good reason. Yes i think unchecked ultrasounds in the signal can be a problem. We have all seen the curves for amp distortion they rise fast above 20kHz not many systems are designed for reproduction up to 50kHz . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
