Direct Digital Amplifiers
Atmasphere, that's true but output power is very limited while in class D it depends only on power supply and size of output Mosfets.Bombaywalla, Adjusted analog quantity is duty cycle. For instance, when you adjust oscillator's frequency by turni... 
Ravi Shankar passes.
Donjr, Sultan Khan died last year. He was Sarangi player and vocalist but I don't have any of his records. Ali Akbar Khan was pronouced by Yehudi Menuhin "An absolute genius...the greatest musician in the world,". Musicians that are the most popul... 
Ravi Shankar passes.
It is Vilayat Khan (you dropped an i and a). The greatest of all was Ali Akbar Khan (Sarod) whose sister Annapurna Devi was married to Ravi Shankar and studied together under her father great Alauddin Khan. Annapurna Devi was perhaps even more tal...

Signal chain might be simpler but class D consist only of modulator and output Mosfets vs. multiple stages of gain in traditional amplifier.

Bombaywalla, Class D amp doesn't convert anything to digital. It converts analog voltage to analog duty cycle of square wave and back to analog voltage thru filtering. Word "digital" would imply limit of resolution while it is unlimited - complete...

Mabonn, I had impression that AE is limited to 16 bit, but if it is the case you should have no sound at all. 
CD cleaning question
Dust should not be a problem since CDP error corrects scratches up to 4mm along the track. Bringing dust inside CDP is bad but wiping CD too often with dry cloth is not good either. When wiping use radial motion to avoid making micro-scratches alo... 
Do you ever just listen to music
strong correlation between musical talent and math aptitudeCorrelation is a dangerous word, since it might suggest that one thing is causing another. For instance: There is a strong correlation between tattoos and motorcycle accidents (tattoos are... 
Why does the recording sound better?
The most efficient backup would be hard drive. I also use Tayio Yuden CD-R. They invented CD-R. Another great, but expensive, is Mitsui Gold. 
Why does the recording sound better?
Rpg, CDP cannot read each sector multiple times since it is operating in real time. Small errors like scratches up to 4mm along the track will be corrected while scratches longer than 8mm will be audible (pops). Between 4 and 8mm player interpolat... 
Do you ever just listen to music
Guilty as charged. I envy people who can listen to orchestral music on table top radio. They can hear only about 50% of instruments and still enjoy the music. 
CDP speed control
Rbbert, Great to know, thanks.

Matt, I read your modem's data and it doesn't say it is dual band meaning it isn't (most common). http://www.2wire.com/pages/pdfs/5100-000383-000_2W_Rev_B_0107.pdfIt also looks dated since it isn't 802.11n. My Cisco Linksys E2500 is only a wireles... 
CDP speed control
How do you know that radio version is right. In addition many song versions were recorded almost identical but at slightly different pace (different studio sessions). It is hard to get wrong CD speed since it is self adjusting system. It is adjust...
