I'll note that's the entire point of Monty's (great) article, which has this near the top:
Unfortunately, there is no point to distributing music in 24-bit/192kHz format. Its playback fidelity is slightly inferior to 16/44.1 or 16/48, and it takes up 6 times the space.
This has all been known to anyone with actual signal processing and/or audio engineering knowledge for a long time now. As in, common knowledge to the kinds of folks attending the AES conference at least back to ~2001 or so. The high sample rate/bit depth stuff is useful for production process, but irrelevant for final distribution.
- thwest 11y agoThere's a reasonable argument that fits within DSP theory that frequencies sampled above audible range could have harmonics down in the audible range.
- JonnieCache 11y agoThis is addressed in the article. While theoretically relevant to some recording applications, (overdubbing a string section one violin at a time, why would you want to do that?) this kind of intermodulation distortion can only harm the reproduction of mixed material.
