And so it came to pass, on 10-01-96 15:04,
   that Jared Falvo spake unto All :
 JF> Concerning sound quality, which is more important... the bit depth 
 JF> or the frequency (kHz) at which the recording is made?
That depends on which is more important to you -- dynamic range or frequency 
response.  The more bits, the greater the dynamic range (16-bit gives you on 
the order of 96dB); the higher the sample rate, the higher the frequency it 
will record/reproduce (Nyquist's Theorum states that the minimum sample rate 
should be twice the maximum frequency to be sampled -- in other words, a 
38kHz sample rate limits you to a maximum of 19kHz audio).
