Fantastic article all about the physics of the human ear, how it relates to digital formats, analogue, audio myths, etc. It`s a long read, very enlightening, and the go to bible to throw at audiophiles and other format idiots.

“In essence the theorem shows that an analog signal that has been sampled can be perfectly reconstructed from the samples”. I know there will be some who will disagree with this idea, unfortunately, disagreement is NOT an option. This theorem hasn't been invented to explain how digital audio works, it's the other way around. Digital Audio was invented from the theorem, if you don't believe the theorem then you can't believe in digital audio either!!
