24-bit/192kHz music downloads and why they make no sense (2012)

# Summary The article argues that 24-bit/192kHz music downloads are unnecessary because they offer no audible improvement over standard 16-bit/44.1kHz files while consuming six times more storage space. The author contends that most advocates for high-resolution audio misunderstand digital signal theory and the sampling theorem, and that 24/192 distribution fails to address actual problems with digital music quality.
