RE: DACs using SPDIF are broken by design

Philips and Sony brought us 44/16 instead of 48/16. That was (for decades) the death of high quality audio. This is why I don't like these companies. The battle was between the US on the one side vs. Europe/Japan on the other side. Mid-fi mentality won the day. This was about politics and greed vs. quality.

The idea that SPDIF was broken was publicized first by Julian Dunn. This was well before anybody was using USB for audio purposes. This was at least a decade before USB audio products hit the market.
