Absolute drivel. Like you previous post about digital sampling. You
need to go on a good course. You obviously have no clue about digital
sampling theory an
Thanks to both of you.
Erland, it's not quite clear to me yet:
Does any of these applets support dB-readouts of volume setting whilst
the volume control is operated (Never mind the ramped graphic)?

SACD is not that a bad example of so called hirez 24/96 is PCM is much
better ? (this is a very dead topic sorry )
SACD is equivalent of 20 bit in the bass and midrange and then the
noise starts to rise and it is sligthly worse than CD at 20kHZ (not
much) after that we have a lot of ultrasonic no

As long as it has a half decent web browser than you should have some
