Ok, its true most speakers has roll off frequency to 20K analog, you cannot hear much difference, only the hihats will be less digital sounding, more clean open sounding, especially high volumes, it sounds more natural like the original analog source.

Imagine a 20K sinewave on a 44K timeframe, that is horrible.
Also young people can hear higher frequencys then old persons.

Indeed : with processing CD quality is horrible.

No, it can be reproduced perfectly.

Also young people can hear higher frequencys then old persons.

Also not universally true. Some young people can hear higher frequencies than some old people.

(In fact today's earbud-wearing generation are more likely to suffer hearing loss).

So does his video, and it has analog 'scopes in it showing that the math really works, what bit depth actually means to a signal, etc.

Is nobody watching that? 

[Siwastaja]

Fully watching (with brain turned on) that video, posted a zillion times now, should be a prerequisite for posting to this thread.

[slicendice]

Yes, yes, seen it gazillion times already! Awesome stuff!
