I think you ment 22KHz which would be the Nyquist rate for sampling
at 44KHz.  One might argue that the Nyquist rate only assures frequence
not wave shape so that a 20KHz cut off would not distinguish a 12KHz sine
wave from a 12KHz sawtooth, and that human hearing might not be strictly
frequence response bassed, but I will not since my real purpose here is
to shamlesly slide into a commercial announcement: for all those analog
lovers, I have a fantastic 10 year old SOTA Saphire tunrtable (Grace arm,
and Vanderstien head amp) that I would love to sell so I can buy more CDs!!
call me.
