      What is supposedly wrong with pcm DACs per se? And what exactly do people mean by pcm dac? Pcm encoding adapted for a truncated word...

      SimonPac replied to the thread Watts Up...?.
      A mic outputs microvolts to millivolts; an ADC usually needs a volt or two to give optimum signal to noise ratio and to minimise...

      There seem to me a few adc dac scenarios would be potentially capable of good results. I'm assuming the convertor core is good for...

      I think Rob is saying the time inter sample errors introduced by non-sinc interpolation reconstruction are complex and significant...

      SimonPac replied to the thread Watts Up...?.
      Maybe so. But you'd be optimising what was possible, not creating the impossible. With digital you can do much more in terms of filters...

      ...and finally, for completeness (for the moment.....)..... A pure linear analogue time-continuous sinc brickwall phase linear filter...

      SimonPac replied to the thread Watts Up...?.
      A further point is that if you fed the analogue music signal into an ideal brickwall filter, analogue or digital, you'd get time domain...

      Sorry to cause offence. You can't simplify beyond a certain point and still accurately convey the essentials here. If everything in...

      SimonPac replied to the thread Watts Up...?.
      No. Correct sound to hard-bandlimited input signal means both correct FIR choice, which includes extended pre-ringing, and rigorous...

      SimonPac replied to the thread Watts Up...?.
      Yes, normally there are no time isolated single sample wide impulses in music. And pre-ring should never manifest as such as an added...

      I misused the term 'causal' I think, in referring to the published impulse response. Any FIR is causal in absolute real time of course...

      Thanks Rob I guess I forgot the necessarily fairly severe FIR windowing, with the slow decay of coefficients on a sinc function. I...

      SimonPac replied to the thread Watts Up...?.
      Thanks all. I was a bit lazy and didn't realise Rob had gone into such depth here. I have started reading the first link which is very...

      SimonPac replied to the thread Watts Up...?.
      Questions re Rob Watts approach: 1) Does Bob seek to implement a pure brickwall FIR sinc function or something else? Why? 2) Is the...

      Not seeing the questions I wanted to ask answered, either in the first posts or in a recent interview.
