In Reply to: Ahh ...thanks :-). Couple more questions.. ;-) posted by DJ Mo on October 24, 1999 at 23:42:41:
To answer your other questions:Sampling rate has nothing to do with frequency response. 16 bit means it samples 16 at a rate of 44.1 kHz. Thus 24 bit sampled at 96 kHz.
In terms of releasing more stuff on 96/24. It takes time for changes in format which is what we are talking about here. That takes time. Besides it would mean everyone would have to replace their cd players with new players & all of their software. Not a happening thing. Finally with 2 formats which are incompatible with each other (shades of beta & vhs?), most people will wait.
According to the Nyquist Theorem, audio bandwidth is half the sampling frequency.eg at 44.1kHz the max freq. is 22.05kHz
at 96kHz 48kHz is attainableDVD-A will allow sampling rates of up to 192kHz, allowing a 96kHz bandwidth.
Compare that with SACD's Direct Stream Digital's 2.8224Mhz sampling rate which allows a theoretical bandwidth of 1.4Mhz.
Hope this clarifies things for you re; sampling rates and frequency response.

Yes it does. Thank you. This is the first clear explanation I have seen.
no problemo
