A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital..
kijankiThis theorem only states that you can recover continuous signal by sampling at least two times per period. It does not say you can do that when waveform constantly changesActually, that’s exactly what the Fourier Transform addresses and pro...

audioengrDigital is sampled, not continuous. The reproduction accuracy with digital is a function of the sample-rate and filtering to "smooth" those steps.The Fourier Transform proves otherwise, and the transform really has more than one proo...

A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital..
tom1000There are no steps, no divisions, or resolution with analog, but there is with digital. It’s a common misnomer that digital has "steps." To be fair, it seems intuitive that it does. But it doesn’t, as proven here. And analog has limited re...

n80 And for the record I've gotten conflicting advice here. Right?Quite so. Some of it was consistent with the maunufacturer's recommendation. Some was not.  Who do you trust?

audioengrThere is always a CODEC in the playback software.If you consider a DAC a codec, I guess that’s true.
