<div style="font-family:monospace"> <span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">It's what sales wrote. Reminds me of a harsh joke I picked up in the 70s (that has MANY exceptions): How do you tell the difference between a computer salesman and a car salesman? A car salesman knows when he/she is lying. (Hmm. ChatGPT will slot right in for the current century. But maybe "perceives" would be better.)</span>

That is one of many issues with that page - I posted it here more as a laugh to those that know more than this page - not as a real page of information.

Which is why I said it "hertz my brain" and why I posted tongue in cheek that there were "a lot of new facts from this I have never seen in any other location before" ;-)

Considering this is a vendor's page, i certainly would not want to order anything from this vendor if this is their level of understanding of what they are producing/selling.

<br> This is a patently false statement even if you add in the missing caret.
<br>
<br> Yeah, so as others have pointed out, the real answer to the silly
<br> headline question is because it makes a 16-bit counter overflow at
<br> exactly 1 Hz, which is super useful for driving digital timepieces, and
<br> apparently happens to be a comfortable resonating frequency for a quartz
<br> crystal.
<br>
<br> There's no clever relationship between 2^16 and 44.1 kHz, though. 44.1k
<br> is not a nice power of two. It comes, possibly, from NTSC TV scan
<br> rates; see <a href="https://dsp.stackexchange.com/a/17702" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dsp.stackexchange.com/a/17702</a>
<br>
<br> I would question the use of the word "majority" in that sentence as
<br> well. I'd claim the vast majority of digital audio equipment is capable
<br> of handling a variety of sampling rates.
