This is pure marketing technobabble/hogwash. It's not possible to more accurately interpolate "what was lost". Interpolation is ALWAYS a guess. It doesn't matter how many extra bits you try and artifically generate. If 16 bits of dynamic resolution go in, then 16 come out. End of. Oh, and any "reconstruction" occurs in the filter... As for that last sentence... pure baloney. Clearly whoever wrote this has NO understanding of Information Theory. If the DAC sounds good, then fine. But their explanation blows chunks. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
