there is no AUDIBLE difference between 16-bit/44.KHz material and so

Well I did take a look at some so called hi res audio files but did not
ever see any information above 20 kHz yet.
And don't know for a fact if there ever was a recording studio that had=20
equipment ( microphones ) that even could record anything above 20 kHz
but I think there never was, maybe until now.
I am waiting for the first real hi res recording studio and the first rea=

hi res music, then we start talking about whether or not differences are
audible.
And yes I know that people suggest that above 20kHz isn't a factor but I=20
don't know that, I do know however, it will not be a factor as long no=20
one is recording it :-)
If anyone know where to find real hi res music, please let me/ us know.
