"An audio CD can represent frequencies up to 22.05 kHz, the Nyquist
frequency of the 44.1 kHz sample rate. The audio bit rate is 1,411.2
kbit/s (as 2 channels × 44,100 samples per second per channel × 16 bits
per sample = 1,411,200 bit/s = 1,411.2 kbit/s). As each sample is a
signed 16-bit two's complement integer, sample values range from −32768
to +32767. Although rarely used, the specification allows for discs to
be mastered with a form of emphasis." -

I can listen to CD, but it's very hard for me. I'm an old school audio
engineer.
