sleepwalker65"What you are mistakenly thinking of, is the reverse process, taking that stored sequence of samples and generating a facsimile of the original analog program material, doing bit-sum averaging to compensate for dropouts.'
You are confused, disoriented or misinformed provided that what is under discussion hear is as I believe it to be which is the Compact Disk Audio Standard as defined by the "Red Book" protocol as promulgated by Sony/Phillips there is no "bit sum averaging." There should be no "dropouts" unless of course there is a substantial failure, defect or fault in the playback system because the CD audio standard relies on Cross-Interleaved Reed-Solomon Coding by using 24 8 bit words and encoding them in a RS code with parity check symbols.
