Still, a sample rate higher > than 40 kHz can be a good thing. But, clearly, you miss the point. A sample rate of 44.1 kHz is good enough for 20 kHz and below. A sample rate of MORE than 44.1 kHz IS NOT ANY BETTER. Got it?

Guess what - you are not. you are posting out into a newsgroup in the real world, albeit through a google 'portal'. Most of us here are accessing USENET directly, and 'profiles' do not exist. They area Google Groups things only. geoff

I think Rajesh is comparing 44k1 and 196K stream both on a DVD-Audio, in which a given blemish will in fact cause a bigger glitch on the lower sample rate, given that the native packing densisty of the bits is identical.\ geoff

When I was about 12-14 years old (early '70's) I looked carefully at the circuit board of such a transistor radio, and I saw two transistors that were: 1. each connected in a diode cofiguration, and 2. one of the two pads for each resulding "diode" did not connect anywhere. I turned that circuit board over dozens of times to make sure I was tracing the right transistor leads to the right pads. I couldn't figure out for the life of me how that thing worked.

You lose 4.4 milliseconds worth of samples, not 4.4 seconds, in the example you give. If you allow for the fact that there are stereo channels present that comes down to 2.2 ms total outage, at first sight. In fact the CD designers anticipated the effect of scratches and distribute the bits along the track in such a way that a scratch affects one bit in many samples, and in such a way that the faults are likely to be exactly corrected, or replaced by interpolated values, or silenced by the playback processing.
