@lanodan @vidister @mia both 24bit and high sample rate are, you don't get to reach the limitations of either in practice (e.g. my upper hearing limit is ~19500 which is still well below the nyquist frequency for 44.1k, and that's unusual for a person my age, a lot of people don't even get to reach 17k)
if anything if your audio *does* contain frequencies above those ~22k, it's probably pretty bad because audio gear is flawed and it's a lot easier to turn that kinda thing into distortion
