Hi Mr. Amped. Don't know if there is a layman's article on line for all this stuff... I'm sure searches will get you many articles of stuff like "dynamic range", "THD", "IMD", "noise floor"; or even the more esoteric stuff like the upsampling filter types. On a number of the posts I've tried to include links to articles which should help. One book I enjoyed was Ethan Winer's "The Audio Expert" which I think is a good reference and will dispel many audiophile myths. Here's a link to his page: http://ethanwiner.com/book.htm Good basic information which goes into more detail than most people would likely care to know.
