I have a question for the audiophile commanders.

Just recently bough a sennheiser G4ME ONE and an ASUS XONAR U7. The sounds is already incredible. I've just come from a Logitech G430, so you can imagine my excitement.
Both the cans and card can hit 24 bit rate and 192khz sample rate but Jim Croft the audio head says to go with 48khz

What do you guys think?

I think it is best to listen and decide for yourself.

If they are recording/mastering the sound at 24bit 48khz, then you won't hear any difference by using a higher sample rate.

Someone might prove me wrong but there is no reason today, unless you are gettting recordings direct from a studio, to have it set above 48khz.

Thanks guys

The higher bitrates and sample rates will not make a difference to the end-user.

If you are on the audio production end and mixing/editing the audio, some people like to have it for the extra mathematical/rounding error buffer for the calculations involved when processing audio, but it makes an extremely miniscule difference, if even any at all.
