>Theres been some talk around here about people wanting 96K card support. > I don't understand what the big deal is with 96K sample rates. For TWICE the load on the system and Twice the storage space, you will then be able to record frequencies that no mic can capture, and your speakers will never be able to reproduce. For sure it is not frequncy range. In order to sample properly there should not be any frequencies there above the max frequency to be sampled ( above 1/2 samplefrequency). We use filters to do so: Brick wall filters ( filters who pass nothing above cutoff frequncy and all below and do not affect the passband) do not excist. very steep filters introduce non lineair behaviour in the cross over region. we need some 100 db attentuation , so those filters do not start working at 20 KHz... Result of the non lineair behaviour is sum( f1 +f2) and difference ( f1-f2) frequencies. In the audible range. At 96 KHz sample rate we move these nonlineair artifacts one octave up. Mathematicians can explain scientifically what happens. Philips and Sony are about to release a super audio CD which has two layers 1 layer 100% equal to the present CD and one layer which has 24 Bit 96KHz multichannel(Philips) stereo (sony) on a format which looks like DVD. Than we have a chance to listen to difference is quality, which is amazing. regards Frank w. Kooistra regards Frank W. Kooistra
