Bottom line, I really can't see any benefits to an audio

Does he perhaps mean 2 channels @ 24 bits each ?

and 384 Ksamples per second for your, or any other
audio purpose.

384k sampling is clearly absurd.

But if he's a beginner, he may be getting confused between
sampling rate and bitrate, as in .mp3s.


This is true.


Well, maybe. Note that 384k is 2x 192k
(or 4x 96k) which are all standard sampling
rates. OTOH 384k is NOT a standard bit-
rate for MP3.


It is, however, 3x 128k, which *is* a standard .mp3 bitrate.

Peace,
Paul
