Re: Ah, jj!

"One example is digital tends to be poor at capturing signals close to Nyquist when they vary continuously and dynamically - there's too few sample points per waveform to allow for accurate analog reconstruction and the reconstruction becomes very sensitive to things like quantization noise and jitter"

This may very well be THE main reason for many of the problems with digital sound.

"So in other words, common measurements like dynamic range are biased towards making digital look really good compared to analog"

Do you know of some more dynamically driven tests that could illustrate this point?
