Can you (really) hear a difference between 44100 hz and 48000hz?

On my creative live i can, and it is actualy bigger as the one beetween 48000 and 96000. But this is couse my sound card is quite old one, with some new sound card such things cant really be heard i belive.

I honestly can't ....
But can the human ear even "hear" such high frequencies? Somebody knows where the limit is? |

Since EMC entries were limited to 128bps MP3, I tried to make up the sound quality by recording at 48,000hz... and could easily hear the difference 
Also in a current project I'm recording acoustic guitar, and I have to say it's much clearer. Anything higher than 48,000 I surely cant hear.

I can't. Nor did I ever try to, especially since I don't have any 48khz recordings I guess.

You should try it just ONCE. It will change you.

No, but there are exceptions like our superhuman Randor. The fact is that even most of speakers can't create such high frequencies. Even studio monitors are prepared only to generate tonse up to 20000hz.
However, increasing the sample rate not only widens the range of frequencies possible to generate, but also makes the lower frequencies more precisely defined. It also increases the precision of mixes.
Also 48000 hz has some other advantages, the biggest one is that it's easilly divideable into many other frequencies. Notice that popular today 96000 is 48000 * 2. and 192 - the next frontier is infact 96000 * 2. So it's very easy to multiply and divide them all into other, which increases the quality of dithering.

hmm, the khz is the resolution of the sound and have no direct (don't get me wrong here, it doesn't work as a filter ) relationship with how high frequencies you hear in your speakers... but it can reduce treble if the resulolution is so poor that the waveform can't make enough small turns to create higher freqs...
since the sound from a computer is digital we have an X and Y resolution
(khz/bit)
(plz read about sound, i'm pretty bad at explaingning this stuff)
