<p>Sorry, in the last paragraph I ment to say "But the end user with

<div>The focus on sampling rate is somewhat backwards. The
question is what is the needed bandwidth. In theory, and not too
far from practice, all one needs is to sample at twice the
bandwidth. </div>
<div>And the real question is the pluses and minuses of including
high frequency energy that is above audibility.</div>
<div>There are no positives, at best you will continue not to hear
it. Do you want your email to be packed with stuff you will
never see?</div>
<div>However, such high frequency energy can contaminate what you
hear. Probably not much will be noticed in a quality studio,
where good gear is to be found. But the end user with lesser
quality and much <b>more</b><b> linearity</b> will have a
bigger issue.</div>
<div>It is more difficult to achieve linearity at higher
frequencies. Such high energy with non linearity can cause a
problem. It is easy to solve. Make sure that you include what
you hear, and don't include anything at higher frequencies.
Clearly one may wish for some margins but it should be within
reason.</div>

Perhaps 20 years ago, Ray Rayburn told me about hearing a
demonstration <br>
by Rupert Neve that he said clearly demonstrated the audibility of
<br>
ultrasonic components.<br>
