I have a question about this. http://www.stereophile.com/content/quality-lies-details-page-6#DQEqFEA63RHRhQcK.97
I thought such a waveform would be impossible with 16 bit data when fed into an upsampling, 24 bit DAC. I thought the samples would be interpolated at higher rate and greater bit depth, leading to a smooth sine even at -90dB. But looking at any number of reviews on Stereophile, the stair steps (with Gibbs ringing) are seen. I infer that the "16 bit undithered sine at -90dB" is a deliberately staircased waveform delivered in a hi-rez container. My question: is this inference correct? If not, DAC upsampling doesn't quite do what I thought it did! Check it, add to it! http://www.dr.loudness-war.info/ SB Touch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ darrenyeats's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10799 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105769 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
