no distortion whatsoever, no noise.
There is quantizing noise, which results from the discrete steps in the digital/analog conversion. However, that noise is well below the surface noise on vinyl.
That noise should be at the sampling frequency, and there should be a filter that removes it. That is, if the sampling frequency is 44 KHz, the amplifier chain must cut at 22 KHz.
But of course, that's done with an analog filter, and these are not "all or nothing" things. Some passes, but should not be audible.
How does any of that relate to listening to music ? How can I tell if Elvis is affected by quantizing noise ? I accept completely that digital has no noise floor, but so what ? What does that have to do with music ? I repeat, with properly designed and set up equipment surface noise on vinyl is not an issue. 78's have a horrible noise floor but can still sound like music. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
