   The recording studios also use a much better digital equipment than   
   home music players or what is released on the CD or online / streaming   
   services, so what you're hearing has been downsampled.   
      
   But the on and off bits of digital audio and video can never match the   
   near-infinite uniqueness of analogue. Even if you were digitally   
   recording at a bazillion samples per second, you'd still be missing   
   things between each sample. Of course, once you get to such ridiculous   
   rates, whether the human ear can actually tell the difference is a   
   matter of opinion though. Simiarly with computer / phone / TV screens -   
   nobody is going to notice any difference between 4K, 8K, 16K, etc.   
   unless they are pressing their noses against the screen.
