  1. Two simple answers: 1. you're not "tricking mathematics"! you're using a trick to go from "unsolvable" to "solvable". Guess what the trick is? 2. First you have to ask the right question. With all the group think going when it comes to DACs, I'm not all that surprised that new solutions can still be found today, especially with off-board and/or on board processing power having gone up. I'll add one more thing: it's easy to stay in the box and say no. I think the silence of the out-the-box thinkers here is louder than words
  2. The claim is : starting with a band-limited signal, an algorithm was built to do doing interpolation with fixed points, based on 1917 paper and some academia level math. Exactly how is it done? no-one knows. In the absence of concrete prior examples, apparently this really would be a first. Keeping the original samples may be the trick to escape the uncertainty rule.
  3. Jud, I'm unearthing an old post of yours: Since I'm trying to anticipate the possible benefits of Schiit's future Ygg DAC, especially its 384kHz reconstruction filter that will keep the original data (and be both frequency- and time-domain correct in the process), I'm curious if there actually are PCM filters that retain the original data? I mean, not just bit-perfect NOS, bit-to-bit passing of data to a DAC chip, but actual upsampling filters in real-word software or hardware products? Any that respects both time and frequency rather than sit somewhere in the trade-off scale?
  4. Ok thanks bhobba for the clarification. So yes he says his digital transfers sound good enough, but when you said "master tapes simply were not worth the trouble and the standard CD format has a huge amount of untapped potential.", well 1. in that thread he's not using master tapes or even the tape project 15 ips tapes but lower quality 7.5 ips bought somewhere 2. his 2 favorites are still the tape and first dub, and he goes through the trouble to dub 7.5ips tape (not master-quality tape), which tells me tape is still "worth it" (to him). Since I can't seem to register on the killerdac forum, I wasn't sure if I missed some other thread where opinions converged in that sense... and I don't have your direct access to those nice fellows in Oz so thanks again for clarifying. Having said all that, I agree about the untapped potential of CD-quality PCM
  5. Hi Bill, Is this what you're talking about: Because the interpretation seems a little different than what you said... Or are you referring to a different thread? since this post refers to DSD-> 16/44 resampling, not direct PCM recording from tape. If so, I'd love to be pointed to the right thread
  6. Yes, you can add the Altmann Tera-Player, as it takes full-size SD cards (SDHD and SDXC), even if files are restricted to .WAV. The designer has explained how he can circumvent noise and jitter issues with the SD interface. There's also no pre-ringing artefact in this device. His whole approach is generally very thoughtful and he's put it all on the net.
  7. Ha! you made my day, thanks for the laugh I think you hit it on the head: you can't possibly give the masses high quality at a price they can afford! how are we gonna be snobs to everyone else then? eek! we've invested too much time and money in this... we'd have to start over!
