In the telco world, 1K = 1000.  In the data world 1K = 1024.   

ISDN and the DS-n standards came from the telco world.  :-)

192 bits multiplied by 8000 = 1536000.  Add in 8000 for framing, and you
have 1544000, the clock rate for DS-1.

The proper way to think or this is really:

8000 samples per second of 8 bit resolution = 64000 bits per second,
which equals one channel, or one DS-0.  24 channels of 64000 bits 
equal 1536000 bits per second (or 192000 bytes).  Plus 8000 bits per
second for framing.  Viola! (a stringed instrument appears mysteriously
out of thin air) 1,544,000 bits per second = DS-1.
