| Curious about older "world class" D/A converters Curious about older "world class" D/A converters For doing D/A conversion of PCM 16/44 to 24/96 (RedBook cd), I and many others believe the older dacs that used properly implemented Multibit d/a converters chip are the best way of doing pcm co... | |
| CD player plays some CDs, not others. Left to right:1: Stamped/Moulded retail CD2: Burnt gold CD3: Burnt normal CDYou can see why some lasers have troubles with burnt CD's, and why error correction will be higherhttps://www.iasa-web.org/sites/default/files/tc05-fig20.jpg Cheers George | |
