Audio bit depth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Except it doesn't matter how you want to think of it, when the way it's stored is the way I described it. The formats are designed to be backwards compatible, so If you lop off the last 8 bits of each word of a 24 bit recording (say by sending a 48/24 spdif signal to a dac that only supports 16 bits, it decodes properly. 24 bits provides the same resolution, with more headroom. In video, more bits = more resolution. In audio, more bits is just more bits. A 24 oz bottle holds 8 oz more water than a 16 oz bottle, but the water itself isn't any different.

hf2s, balanced from my duet->rotel rc-1090 xlr jacks listening to paul bley Great resolution, great low bass, perfect tone. I'll let others listen at my mini-meet.

if you're counting to 1000, does it matter that you have 64 bits to do it with (integer math)

Except it doesn't increase resolution, because the first 16 bits are exactly the same. It ADDS to the available space, but doesnt' change the scale.

16 bits allows for 96db signal to noise. That's enough range to discern a conversation next to a jet. Music doesn't cover more than that.

Don't compare it to the redbook release, give it to me to make a redbook version Whether or not the redbook version is inferior, the difference isnt' the 16 vs 24 bits.

As with everything else, I think the hdcd indication really just is a way of saying "we tried to make it not suck", since music doesn't need more than 16 bits once it's been mastered.

Sacds aren't hdcd.

Are the splitters cheaper than monoprice after shipping?

Good call, I'll listen to that too, I still am bored by dark side

A better deal might be had here

4 pairs of NADY HP03s. Decent closed headphones for kid car use, and maybe for kid keyboard use.

Lease with a bumper to bumper and any car should make it 3 years I tend to own cars a LOT longer

There's 0 chance I'd ever buy a jag...talk about a car that will make a vw look reliable

Just get the full bumper to bumper warranty

congrats!

You're not bright, are you?

There ya go, you answered your own question. Congratulations.

One doesn't know where to begin. Perhaps you should reread your welcome pm. There is a good forum where you'll be better served with a post like that over at http://www.head-fi.org, this isn't really a hand holding kind of place.

Now you need a better amp
