Disregard the fact that most people can't even hear the difference of a good mp3 on 192kbps, its not a discussion I want to have here.
If we consider 192kbps 'transparent' for a 16/44.1 audio CD, how would we encode 24/192 to achieve similar transparency with a lossy format? In mp3 land there's no such thing as 16 bits or 24 bits ?
How would we encode this to mp3 .. if that is possible at all?
The compression factor on the 192kpbs mp3 is roughly 7.3. Do we simply apply that same number to the 24/192? I would encode to 630kbps?
That may sound really dumb but I have no clue how mp3 compression really works (tried reading about it but it just hurts my brain). I read it applies low and high pass filters, does that mean 24/192 would basically be cut off to the frequency range of a CD?
PS. couldn't really find a proper place for this Q, feel free to move it if need be
