Correct, 48 bit just avoids rounding errors. Yes the DSP speaker is still subject to the problems discussed here. You can read about Meridian speakers here http://media.meridian-audio.com/datasheets/papers/DSP-speakers-paper-v2.pdf You will not find a all the details of there though, but some. The rest is spread over different bits of information that some folks have aquired over the years from Meridian. Some of what they do in their processors is the same as what's done in speakers too. And generations have changed. Their newest ones have apodizing filters in their upsampler. But for the life of me I can't hear the difference apodizing adds. Too old I guess. -- mswlogo XP > Cat5 > Transporter/DuetController > SPDIF > Meridian G68 > DSP6000, DSP5500HC, DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > DuetReceiver > SPDIF > Meridian G91 > DSP5000 'My Transporter Setup' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=350741&postcount=45) 'Hitch Hikers Guide to Meridian' (http://www.meridianunplugged.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77725 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
