I'm no kind of music fan, and even I can hear how crappy 48kHz sounds next to 192kHz; you can hear it even over a bad pair of earbuds.

- IvyMike 14y agoYou may be confusing kHz sample rate with kbps bit rate. I do not think you can distinguish 48kHz vs 192kHz over bad earbuds; I have my doubts that most people can tell even on high-end equipment.

- geon 14y agoCDs use 44.1 kHz and 16 bits. There is just no way you can tell if it is anything better than that on earbuds, no matter the price.
- __david__ 14y ago> even I can hear how crappy 48kHz sounds next to 192kHz :-) No you can't. All raising the sampling rate does is raise the Nyquist frequency and unless you have super human ears that can hear up to 96KHz (you don't), then all you're doing is wasting disk space.
