requires 40khz that's it no other specs required and it can say "hi-res" yet I read online people cant hear past 20khz and I did a hearing test on pare of shitty headphones and it put me at 40years old.
sure I have my 50khz sonys but whats the deal with this? is the aumption that 40khz and up devices will be good in other varied ways that are too hard to make a rating for?
would a pare of 60om 25khz headphones be better than 40om 40khz?
confused. why cant audio just have a ITS good number.

That's what the sticker is for. But even that's changing.
But you need hi-res source, hi-res hardware, and hi-res output. Otherwise it's wasting money.
The frequency specified on the soundcards and the hearing frequency are different measures.
The soundcard measure is "cone positions per second", while the hearing is "the highest frequency square wave you can hear".
But it's a easy conversion, just divide the soundcard frequency by 2, and you get the max hearing frequency.
Read up on aliasing. A 40 kHz DAC can perfectly represent any signal at 20 kHz or below.
I thought hi res audio was anything greater than 44.1khz 16-bit? 96khz 24-bit and 192khz 24-bit audio are the most common (hi res). Where does 40khz come from?
Just another meme for dumb audiophiles, even with the best possible equipment they are never satisfied, so companies makes another fairy in form of higher/lower frequencies and dumb audiophile will gladly chase it.
>But you need hi-res source, hi-res hardware, and hi-res output. Otherwise it's wasting money.
And Also: This is not consumer electronics central.
on the japan audio council and American audio councel standards for "hi res" sony created the meme first then gave it to thous councils to enforce
requires 40khz amp
requires 40khz headphones or speakers
requires 40khz source.
I could be wrong thou read it from a 3rd party source not thous actual councils/associations websites.
would a 40khz or higher source from my PC going to a 70khz amplifier powering 25khz 60om headphones count as high res? or would the headphones be the missing link?
I think its relevant for its own thread because it applies to all hardware not just audio hardware its a industry standard its like having a thread about fullHD or 4k I think its relevant the audio general is mostly talking about aesthetics of speakers and brand names not this technical shit it belongs in /fa/ desu while this belongs in Jow Forums.
So high res could be 90's era audio CD? That's absolutely retarded. 24-bit 96/192khz is a better definition.
