Yea. But that was my point. Unless you know exactly what your waveform is you are just as likely to AMPLIFY your noise than to SMOOTH your signal. To really be able to "smooth" you'd have to analyse the whole signal spectrum and you'd have to do that over some time - ideally the whole file(to know the dynamic range). But sox doesn't do that it just looks at a few samples. For the same reason DACs don't do it: it would introduce too much delay and require too much buffering and processing power. I mean... I can call everything a "smoothing" filter, I can also call lead "grey gold". What it actually does is another story, though. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and *New: Logitech UE Smart Radio* as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99088 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
