I say go as high as your software allow. That's what I would do. But it has been awhile now so I can't tell you what the numbers are.

1.92 MHz? I need a radio to hear that!

I used to get that

when in AF, using an R-390, messing around with the BFO to tune in the sideband signal I wanted, roll across some single tone carrier waves that would blow your headset off, lol. They could pick up signals, especially those wavering a bit, better than the newer digital radios, which locked strictly on a freq and stayed there. Just because you can stay on a freq doesn't mean the guy sending can.

Is 192KHz/24bit a SACD format from Sony? Most player can't play that and most people can't hear the difference...I am told.

How many Khz/bits is an Ipod Touch 3 capable of using?

I put them on my Ipod Touch 3rd generation so what KHz/bits should I use for maximum quality when recording songs and sending them to it. (I might as well send them in the highest definition possible because there is 7.5 times more room on it than I use.)

Does anyone know the answer to this?

I want to know. I know iTunes is capable of importing in apple lossless format, what that means I'm not sure.
