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.

9 × 10,000 + 6 × 1,000 = 96,000. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

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.
