44.1 kHz shown scientifically to be inadequate

"Our recent behavioral studies on human subjects proved that humans can discern timing alterations on a 5 microsecond time scale, indicating that that digital sampling rates used in common consumer audio (such as CD) are insufficient for fully preserving transparency."

There is a wealth of detail in the technical papers. This is real scientific research with years invested, not hobbyist stuff. There is also a popular article and a FAQ.

The methodology and arguments are at least as interesting as the results.
