The 44.1kHz standard is linked to TV video scan frequencies, which I think may be a legacy from Sony's early digital audio using based on video cassettes. I can understand the sonic difference between 44.1 and 48kHz; if you accept an upper limit of 20kHz on your audio band the filters for 44.1k have a gap of only 4 kHz between passband and stopband; at 48kHz that gap is 8kHz which means much cleaner filter response for the same level of alias rejection. -- Anahata anahata@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -+- http://www.treewind.co.uk Home: 01638 720444 Mob: 07976 263827
