That's one of those things that sounds true without putting thought into it but is ultimately false. A 44.1kHz sampled sounds can encode phases with offsets smaller than 22µs (1/44.1k). How much smaller? I'm not exactly sure, but I believe it's dependent on your sample size. My guess is 1/2^16 (assuming sample resolution of 16 bits), but I might be off by a factor of 2 (or indeed 100% wrong) there. Caveat emptor. If I'm right then that's 346 pico-seconds, which I'm betting is smaller than your brain can differentiate.

The formula, as far as I could find, is: 1 / (2 * pi * bandwidth * 2 ^ bitdepth) So for full scale 44/16 signal it is about 0.1 nanosecond. More here [1]. There are also some sample files for ABX tests there. [1] - https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,108987.msg896449.html#msg896449 https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,108987.msg896449.html...
