Default Re: sample rates...44.1 or 48...what do you use?

Park,
My understanding of Nyquest is the same.
Perhaps my last post was a little misleading. Something I should add is that a complex waveform at the high end of the audio spectrum will actually contain harmonics outside the audio (assuming 20Hz-20KHz) spectrum.

What I was implying is that the 192KHz system will more accurately reproduce the complexities of this waveform but the human ear most likely won't hear the difference if it can't reproduce the harmonics that create the complex waveform. It will hear the same thing that the 44.1K system can reproduce.
In fact the 44.1K system is most likely to be more accurate in this area than a human ear (Unless you can hear above 22.05KHz).

Then why the push for 192k?
