SACD has something like 10 times that, making the same proportional level of info. ..but from what I've gleaned, the real problem is the rate at which the computer can process this volume of data... you CD player is dedicated to effectively "streaming" this vast quantity of info per second in real time. The computer, making a file, only has the capacity to interpret that info when you rip, and make as close an approximation of that volume of info as it can, and to the degree that it can process it per second. Nowhere near what a dedicated CD Player can do, even on it's best day! -and of course, it being a question of "resolution", how much of the sound is chopped into how many little pieces to make the whole, and therefore, how many of those bits can be played through at once... they both suffer in comparison to tape and vinyl, being analogue... effectively infinite resolution.
