The irony, it burns.
well another one
The irony, it burns.
Why do you keep confusing between ultrasonics and transients?
such retorts don’t take the debate anywhere.
Please elaborate what in your opinion, apart from bitrate and sampling frequency, is required to capture and reproduce finer resolution in audio.
Well for a non-technical explanation of digital audio Monty does get the money shot.Given the number of times it is referenced in these discussions, I bet Monty wishes he had posted that video YouTube so that he could earn some money.
haha we are not taking about your college professor nor is it about you. Chill.
Yeah, what else to do, so many people resist change and a healthy debate . Some are dismissive without any substance in their responses. I am NOT prescribing things for any particular person. I was talking about the progress in the industry and hopefully a change in mainstream consumer tastes and preferences and by that corollary changing the standard of what is hires by the audiophile community. We can’t be stuckups to a 40 year CD tech.
Ok since you insist, will give it watch. But going by what you say, humans are sorted till kingdom comes, with the 1979 CD technology 16/44 resolution. Don’t you find that to be having strong implications. Thx for the video though, will watch.
Ok.... It's time to invoke the Monty on this BS.
For anyone who believes that we need higher sampling rates to capture transients (in a bandwidth limited signal no less this shows a profound lack of understanding of Shannon Nyquist) Please view the following video:
Watch it a few times, there is plenty of good information in it. Note the part at around 21 mins, where it shows how signal edges are correctly encoded and reproduced "between the sample points".
[EDIT] Bleumein88 and my posts crossed, but I'll leave this because it points to the part of the video that makes the point.
A little knowledge may help.

To skip the full explanation above, redbook CD is capable of time resolution into the 110 picosecond range. So 4 milliseconds is nothing to worry about. You can just accept our help and not worry about it or figure it out with some help. Trust us is simpler.
You can also watch the Monty Montgomery video where he will demonstrate the truth of this in one portion of this video. 17:23 is the specific point on timing.
You act as if no one else here has ever encountered the debates which have existed since the 1990s, concerning audibility of hi rez audio. It is not 'healthy' to retread arguments that, if you are actually aware of the history, have already been extremely well-worn.
Uh huh.
Can't wait for you to help straighten it all out
I’m having a hunch, that some of you stalwarts and professors are teaching me wrong
You said, in the post I quoted, we needed higher sample rates to capture musical transients. You have been shown this to be wrong.Having watched this video, I must say it is a good video and very illustrative.
Watched this. This is a great video and nicely illustrated. Stair stepping, dithering, noise floor shaping, band limiting, continuous to discrete to continuous signal reconstruction etc is covered. But that is not what we have been discussing here.
the video doesn’t talk anything about 16/44 CD quality being the limit of human hearing. Or the need and evolution of high-res standards. Obviously it also begs the question why over sample and need for interpolation in a DAC also especially when supposedly the anti aliasing filter is not causing artifacts?
Also the article by Monty (why 24/192 music downloads are silly) is deleted and redacted at so many sites referred by google search. I can’t find it.
Can somebody link the article please, it should make an interesting read.
The reason I linked the video was not about 16/44 being the limits of human hearing. It was specifically about the timing. You assumed, as many before have, that the timing is limited by the length of time between samples. Monty showed you clearly that isn't the case. You can see how to determine how finely 16/44 can be timed in the article I linked from mansr. And the answer was 110 picoseconds. Orders of magnitude finer than the 4 milliseconds you mentioned.Having watched this video, I must say it is a good video and very illustrative.

near about 22 milli seconds.
I am not convinced by what you write.I know this can be an interesting debate but is actually besides the point. Also listening degrades with age and other factors but more importantly you don’t know what you need till you experience it. (8K vs 1080p Logic)
What I was trying to illustrate, is the need to progress. 44 kHz is a 1979 CD technology. It’s been 40 years. Even the microphones and speaker technologies have drastically improved. Storage and transmission was a yesteryear concern which is no longer the Achilles heel now.
There is a difference here between the intellectual and engineering aspects IMHO.Hopefully next 10 years will see some ground breaking stuff. I for one am excited to know more on new developments.
Weird how this matter of fact seems so rarely voiced .There really isn't anything required. The analog electronics and filters have to be made correctly, in order to reach the limits of the format. That isn't really possible for 24 bit formats. So the analog world (and the physics that rule it) limit how much information can get thru the digital channels. The digital formats aren't the limiting factor (or bottleneck).
I am new to ASR, but based on what little I read so far, can’t help but notice the purveying of misinformation that is rampant here.
We need to not only help raise the standards of audiophile technology but also the standard of debates.
