You only think you can hear it I'm afraid. Unless you have superhuman
hearing, no-one can hear audio above about 18kHz and even then you have to
be in your prime to hear that. The 44.1 kHz sampling frequency easily
reproduces 18 kHz. Sampling frequencies above that reproduce audio
frequencies that the human ear cannot hear. Don't kid yourselves and don't
waste your money.
