    Any audiophile would argue with you that the extra Hz help with harmonics that do influence the timbre and subtle qualities that are within hearing range. (/s, since someone needs it)

    I personally don’t care, I’m happy with 44 kHz for nearly everything.

      I am an audiophile, not an idiot. They don’t. The slim possibility of reproducing signals past 20kHz causing audible changes to the signal within audible range may technically exist, but you will never ever demonstrate the ability to detect a difference in a double blind test.

      The only reason to use a higher sample rate than 44.1kHz is to avoid resampling audio which is already in a different sample rate, e.g. CDs which are usually 48kHz or potentially “hi-fi” sources that may be 96kHz or higher. Resampling can theoretically introduce audible artifacts although a modern CPU using a modern resampling algorithm can very easily perform transparent resampling in real-time.

        Ok, fine, whatever, I don’t really care. I almost never have a reason to resample anything nor the equipment to tell the differences in any of this. You keep having fun and correcting people if that’s what gets you off.

          Ok, go ahead and continue posting misinformation and getting mad about being corrected instead of just learning

                Get off your damn horse man, this thread is for poking fun at twats who have to correct everybody. If you’re triggered by it, well good I guess. Maybe you’ll learn, or go someplace where technical accuracy matters. Because here it doesn’t.

                  No, it’s not.

                  I get it, you have no self respect
