Where 96,000 fits
Why 96,000 is special
It captures frequencies far above human hearing, which is why its audible benefit is disputed. Its real value is in production, where processing artefacts land outside the audible range.

96 kHz records frequencies well beyond human hearing. Blind listening tests generally fail to distinguish it from 48 kHz on playback, while its headroom genuinely helps during processing.
