Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

So sad!

"Really? At a point in time an analog waveform has a distinct voltage level... and ya' know, there a whole lotta points in time and hence a whole lotta distinct voltage levels in an analog waveform."

Sure any voltage level can occur with an analog waveform within the dynamic range of the signal. This levels are not distinct, or fixed, in level - ie. they aren't a fixed step, they can be any value.

"Lost? My my my it appears someone needs to do some reading up the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem!"

Sorry but we aren't talking about sampling we are talking about the number of bits per sample.

LOL - nice try.

"But anyway what I find most amusing is the juxtaposition of what you have now just said against something else you said recently (here) on the topic of ignorance:"

LOL!

"Perhaps they're not heaning the audibility of the gaps between digital samples, maybe they're hearing your smoothing of the digital results for the "lost" levels. "

Now I'm laughing. We are talking 10 and 11 bit DACs here. Do you think you'ld notice limitations in dynamic abilities with such a system? I think some low rez mp3 formats get down this low and IMO they sound pretty bad.

I'm not commenting whatsoever on performance or ability of Redbook CD to accurately reproduce a music signal. Far as I can tell it does pretty damn good.
