Like bit depth, larger sample rates are better.

One kHz equals 1,000 Hz, so a sample rate of 1 kHz means that your interface samples your analog signal to digital 1,000 times every second. It’s measured in kilohertz (kHz), which is a unit for waveform frequency. The sample rate tells you how many times per second your interface takes your analog signal and “samples” it to digital.
