If we're talking signal integrity, analog (endless resolution) will always win from digital (chopped-up resolution). The best sounding circuits to me are analog with the least amount of active components. (listen to a passive LC filter...) Not the most practical and versatile in many cases though.
I think K3 is a great hybrid and digital resolution is getting on a high level nowadays. 73' Paul PD0PSB Hi All, I think Ron makes a very good point. I can't contribute much from a technical standpoint, but I would add that I find the Datong analog filters (made back in the 80's in the U.K.) are, in my view, superior to most of the digital filters -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Interesting-Read%3A-Dinosaur-Concepts---why-are-we-always-so-conservative--tp3174631p3179725.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
