    It's in his name: BATmanuel. Some bats can go way over 100kHz, so it would be a sacrifice to have to listen to at the ~20kHz cutoff you get from 48kHz audio!

    96 kHz is the sample rate, not the frequency range.

    Sorry, but I don’t believe the Red Book CD audio spec should be the last word in audio technology. It’s been around for almost 59 years, so I think it is far past time that the baseline for audio playback was raised to a 24-bit depth and 96 kHz sampling rate.

    Consumer video quality has increased greatly since 1980, but it feels like music has been frozen in time, limited to the constraints of the CD format. Without the storage and bandwidth limits we used to have, we should be pushing for more affordable HiRes gear.
