Huge strides have been made since the invention of the gramaphone in 1877 by Thomas Edison. We now enjoy hi-res sound. Many devices are capable of playing sound in hi-res 24 bit audio. HiRes Sound is slowly becoming the standard for many audiophiles. No longer are mp3 files good enough for the audio connoisseur. 24-bit/96kHz or 24-bit/192kHz files provide us with the studio sound quality as that the musicians intended. High-resolution audio files come in many flavours. Hi Res audio usually are sampled using a high frequency (96kHz or 192kHz at 24-bit). Other frequencies are also used. Analogue sound waves are converted into digital. Sampling frequency is the number of times samples are taken per second. The audio on a normal CD is 16-bit 44.1Khz Stereo PCM audio 24bit/96kHz (3.2x more data transmitted than CD) 24bit/192kHz(6.5x more data transmitted than CD).
