- Actually, the hearing range goes up to about 20KHz, but that isn't too
- important. =)
-
- I have the Aegis SoundMaster and I have gotten it to sample up to 56KHz,
- which, I must say, is very sweet but also a memory hog. CD quality
- samples are around 45KHz, so the SoundMaster (provided all your
- connections are clean, gold plated, etc.) can easily reproduce the
- quality of CD sound. Aegis says that the SoundMaster is actually capable
- of much higher sampling rates (above 100) but that a faster
- microprocessor is required to attain those rates. I have no idea on that
- one as I still have my old 7.14 plugged in. So, the best an 8-bit
- sampler can do is just above CD-quality.
