The catch is those graphs are not comparing "digital to analog" ... there is no analog source depicted for comparison: you are left to fill out the ideal curves in your head. Believing those ideal curves are representative of how an analog source would display, however, is an error. All they show is that digital is an approximation and at enough of a 'zoom level' you can see the edges of the line. So what? Zoom in that close on a real world analog signal (which medium? Vinyl isn't the only analog medium) and you will see distortion. It's not even a question of "is it audible", it's a question of implying that analog sources somehow make a magical sine wave with no distortiona at all, which is plain and simply not true. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76496 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
