That’s a misconception. Monty from xiph.org explains it well. see https://youtu.be/cIQ9IXSUzuM

What a fantastic demo!

This is engineering education of the highest quality.

I was about to take up arms and start explaining Nyquist to the parent comment, but I’m glad I chose to watch this video instead.

Thank you for posting it.

How are the Xiph guys doing? I followed them closely during the early days of their new video codec attempt. I’ve fallen out of the loop since then.

I agree. I had no idea just how many errors I had in my understanding of digital signals.

Excellent, and in my view mandatory viewing for anyone interested in audio and signal processing.

That’s a common explanation, and it’s true at low sampling rates. However, we can fairly provably sample at greater rates than the human ear can perceive. A lot of the actual difference between vinyl and more recent digitized recordings is different decisions made during production, most notably performing volume compression to increase perceived loudness, which definitively reduces the nuance of the final product (but also leads to higher ratings for singles).

You understand it wrong.
