16 bit 44.1 khz, vs. 24 bit 96 khz monitors

I am currently looking to upgrade the way I mix music. Currently, I have a fast track ultra and I'm just using a pair of 50$ monitor headphones. I have done test recordings of 16 bit, 44.1 Khz vs. 24 bit 96 khz recordings, and I cannot hear a shred of difference. (I know my fast track ultra is capable of recording that bit rate). So I'm thinking it's the fact that I use crappy headphones.

Record at 24bit - 48KHz = play back is sharper

Hello,

Does anyone know why this happens: e.g. I record a note (D) on my flute at 24bit - 48KHz, it plays back as the same note in Cubase 4 LE then when I mix the track down to 16bit - 44KHz and play the new .wav file in windows media player or VLC the sound is much sharper in pitch nearly a F.

Need a free 20khz+ wav sample

i need a wav sample above 20khz. it needs to be unaudible to human ears.

its for a project that involves making a skull head move its jaw to the wav forms in a DAW. however i can get the results i am trying to without blasting the track. so I'm thinking if i have a track that can be blasted and still not heard, it may work.
