0.03ms is 33kHz - you can't, no matter how much you want to, make a granular timing that is faster than at least one cycle of the frequency you are using. 0.005ms is 200kHz BTW.

This isn't true. Sample a bandlimited impulse. The exact timing is encoded into the gibbs oscillations of the signal. So long as you have a high enough SNR you can have timing as precise as you want. (and because the ear doesn't work with ultrasonics— it is itself bandlimited— it uses the same phenomena for timing)
