The greater the sampling rate, and the greater the resolution (number of "Bits") the closer we theoretically get to the original, and infinite amounts of each would result in a perfect recording, this has been the limiting factor The sampling rate is the rate at which measurements are made and the resolution is the accuracy of these measurements. The question is, will the one times oversampled D to A converter with no digital filter make a further contribution to 96kHz/24Bit technology or extend the life of the existing 16Bit system? It seems to me that one of the main purposes of 24/96 is to reduce the effect of the steep digital filtering used in the original 16Bit/44.1KHz system, so why has no-one first tried to remove the digital filter to see whether it really did any damage or not.ĭigital Audio recording consists of measuring (sampling) the amplitude of the audio waveform at regular intervals and storing the measurement results in the form of binary data.Ī digital to analogue converter generates an output which bears a direct relation to the digital data it is presented with, and hopefully if all goes well we retrieve the original analogue signal. W hile we all wait for the brave new world of DVD, with its many proposed (imagined?!) benefits to sound quality, Audio Note is introducing a highly innovative and unusual addition to existing digital converter technology.
