For over a decade, the standard for compressed audio on the internet was . This was the bitrate of the early MP3 files popularized by peer-to-peer networks. To the untrained ear, 128 kbps sounded fine; to audiophiles, it was a "swirly," distorted mess.
There is, however, a sliver of reality where "128-bit" exists: 128 bit bay
In the year 2157, technology had advanced to the point where humans could create a virtual reality so realistic, it was indistinguishable from reality itself. This was the birth of "The Bay," a 128-bit virtual world where people could live, work, and play. For over a decade, the standard for compressed
The primary hurdle for 128-bit audio is physics itself. At the microscopic level, electrical current is subject to thermal noise (the random agitation of charge carriers). There is, however, a sliver of reality where
