This does appear to be the case.
I've never really understood the term "high resolution" with respect to audio. Does a higher sampling rate mean higher resolution? Where does vinyl fall into this scheme?

I also don't really understand the khz/mhz "upgrade" with respect to sound below those figures. Surely 22.05 khz should be sufficient for humans. Then why do the much lower frequencies distort on CD? Does resolution really have to do with ALL frequencies? HF's are troublesome to a degree on redbook CD which would account for the tension people feel when listening. But I'm much more susceptible to the lower treble through the midrange frequencies. Tonal anomalies with instruments, grain, sibilance, etc are bigger offenders than some HF stress causing noise.

Do any of those digital sound improvement thingamajigs actually work?
