Where do I find high quality music
Where do I find high quality music
Hi All, I recently got myself some proper headphones and DAC but now I realise I don't have much high quality music , my collection is mostly flac but only very few higher than 48k. So where do you get your music? does it even matter beyond that?
The Nyquist theorem states that the highest frequency that can be replicated in a digital signal is half the signal's sample rate.
Now if you have a 48kHz the highest frequency that can be replicated is 24kHz. Human hearing is known to go up to around 20kHz sometimes a little more, but over your lifetime the top end gets worse. So unless you're trying to play music higher fidelity music for your pet (cat, dog, rodent, or horse) you don't need higher sample rate music.
