MD: 24 bits/MD standard

1999-08-18 Thread Alex LeVine
I asked this question in another guise and didn't really get responses, so I will try again because it keeps me up at night. What is the maximum linear datastream input/output of MD according to Sony specs? By this I mean, when the signal is decompressed and turned into a linear PCM output, wha
