[QUOTE=' post: 12363913, member: 52426"]Another great article debunking the BS of the audiophile magazines, written by a production engineer.

Cpt debunks the article. Below is an article, and notice the "stairsteps". Of course, it takes time for the sample to occur; the sample is not instantaneous. And there are only ~65,000 values with 16 bit, so approximations. Besides that, there are tolerances of parts/circuitry to consider.

Also interesting is that an old Orinda digital "master disc concept", "Digital Master Disc", LP that sounds horrible with digititis. Interesting that an LP has enough resolution so as to perceive the shortcomings of digitial.
Then there is the analog section quality of the solid state chip itself to consider, and what surrounds the chips in terms of parts and quality. Is 50 cents worth of parts that high of sonic quality?
