| It isn't the bits, it's the hardware From a purely technical standpoint oversampling can apply to DA conversion, not just ADC, so from that standpoint, you can use upsampling, oversampling or sample rate conversion to a higher frequency all interchangeably. Feel free to validate that... | |
| It isn't the bits, it's the hardware Not really a curve-fitting but okay to think about it that way. In a digital representation, the spectra is reflected around 0Hz, and the sampling rate. Oversampling shifts the effective sample rate so that the base spectra (which does not change)... | |
| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs Have you looked at the records to ensure they don't have any warping, or that they are sitting flat? | |
| It isn't the bits, it's the hardware It's 2020, not 1990. I would get out and listen to some systems. Things have progressed considerably on the CD front.This still is not a thread about CD players. | |
| It isn't the bits, it's the hardware I think you have a fundamental lack of knowledge of the architecture of a modern audiophile CD player and hence why your confusion w.r.t. what happens after the data is read off the disc, pretty much every error corrected in the error correction b... | |
| A Top DAC This thread feels like a bunch of people arguing over the right shade of white. You can pretty much guarantee that whatever is hooked up to this level of DAC is going to have a far greater impact on the sound ... far far greater, than the DAC itse... | |
| Silly question, but I’ll ask it anyway. I am not aware of any fixed resistor in ages, and copper, not in forever except for racing, and even then you want to control the spark to prevent fuel cavitation.Most domestic wire is not simply a fiber glass core covered in carbon filled latex. ... | |
| Upsampling Upsamples everything to 24/384. If they didn't, they would have to use more aggressive analog filters and/or selectable filters. This makes it easier and may make the clock easier. | |
| It isn't the bits, it's the hardware No. I am using the proper definition for jitter as it applies to the output of the CD player, not what comes off the disc which is meaningless in a buffered and reclocked player, i.e. modern audiophile players. I have no idea what you are using. | |
| Upsampling Way way larger differences between uncompressed 16/44.1 and Spotify 320kb, then between 16/44.1 and 24/96 or 24/192. 24/96 and 24/192 may be different versions. Oversampling would have nothing to do with it. | |
| It isn't the bits, it's the hardware Buffering doesn't stop any errors, it provides the mechanism to eliminate all jitter. No one ever said no uncorrectable errors, though when manufactured, based on many industry tests, uncorrectable errors are quite rare. These are test pretty easi... | |
| Upsampling When just over-sampling, it is to reduce the analog filter requirements pretty much exclusively. Though there is certainly a "following" for non-oversampling DACs, most of us want to hear what is on the CD or in the digital source, and not artifac... | |
| Silly question, but I’ll ask it anyway. You could do it. It would probably sound awful with most spark plug wires. Most spark plug wires are highly inductive (and resistive) stainless steel wire around a core that may or may not be conductive carbon. I guess if you like your music real... | |
| It isn't the bits, it's the hardware >>>>>One assumes that is pure speculation or maybe wishful thinking. Or, contrary to the post the reply was too, it was factual knowledge, and not an opinion or an unproven and evidence lacking hypothesis.The CD can flop around like... | |
| It isn't the bits, it's the hardware People still use CDs for live playback in 2020?On a serious note I doubt there would be many audiophile CD players in the last decade(s) that are not reading ahead if not retrying and buffering on digital output rendering jitter at the player leve... |
