If being able to see in color was a mutation then was mor or less survival of the fittest...wouldn't it also be for sound. Being able to hear transients and changes in sound would be crucial to hear predators, dangers, running water, etc.
Anyway...to change the subject...I had a question for Mike...
Mike, did you have any part in the design and implementation of the Theta DS Pro Basic III? The reason I ask is because I see that model is using 4 X 1702 Burr Brown DACs. I just wanted to get your take on those old PCM chips as I see many were used in Theta DACs (PCM63s, PCM67s), but there were also AD1860 chips used in some DACs. I also see they all used Motorola DSP. I am sure these were particularl design decisions.
I also wanted to ask what you thought of the sought after TDA1541 and TDA1543 players. Many seem to tout these old players as having some "analog" type magic.
Sorry..but all this muti-bit decoder craze you guys kind of started in the community got me doing a bit of research on past multi-bit designs and I am intrigued.
