Higher resolutions in digital audio playback typically relate to a higher sample rate and/or higher bit depth. The sample rate indicates how often an analog signal is sampled per second in order to generate a digital signal from it. A higher sample rate means the analog signal is sampled more frequently, resulting in greater accuracy. Typical sampling rates for audio CDs are 44,1 kHz, while high-resolution audio formats such as FLAC or MQA support higher sampling rates of up to 192 kHz or even higher. Bit depth refers to the number of bits used to represent a sample. A higher bit depth means more bits are available to represent the signal level. With a higher bit depth, the number of levels is larger, ie there are more discrete values ​​that the signal can take on. A higher bit depth therefore means that the dynamic Range of the signal can be larger, allowing for greater accuracy and clarity of the audio signal. Overall, higher sample rates and greater bit depths typically result in better sound quality and a more natural soundstage, especially in music that contains a lot of detail and nuance. However, higher resolutions also require more storage capacity and higher audio signal processing requirements, both for recording and playback.
