CD player - new generation?


Hi all,

computations are showing that a 40-bit DAC will be very close to analog. To your knowledge, there is such a cd-player on the market? Or at least one with 32-bit DAC?

Thank you all of you

I'm always skeptical of the "latest" technology. I remember when CD players were new - my first player was a McIntosh MCD7000 and it had 14 bit DACs because, although 16 bit convertors were available, the technology was so new that none were linear enough for McIntosh to use.

24 bit convertors are now very mature - but 64 bits? Me thinks we're playing a specsmanship game here. I would submit that Sean is right - at this point in the technology curve implementation is far more important than any particular technology.
