I guess technically speaking, this is how FLAC (and all other lossless codecs?) work anyway. You first approximate the signal with some function, and then generate the much lower amplitude error stream (residual) which is them compressed by something like rice encoding. Add the two together and you restore the original signal. What's new here is that the lossy stream is designed to be both compact and listenable per se, without including the residual. It doesn't seem to me that would be the case for DTS. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42096 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
