| been around for years. The only people that use it record orchestras. I really doubt pyramix sounds better. People will say editing is quicker but you have to realize addition is addition. And the cards that integrate with pyramix will not help a dance producer. NOt to mention the incredibly high fidelity which is beyond what you can hear and might be noticeable recording a live instrument which it isn't but peple will claim they can hear above the physical range your inner ear canal can actually trigger. |

1bit 11,2mhz?
1bit amplitude? on/off? really?
"either your instrument is playing at your speakers maximum volume, or its off, you decide"
and 11,2 mhz? are we playing for bats to see?
i think we should have had more than enough with 32bit 192khz standard, and in a few 100 generation we could reduce it again due to hearing loss evolution.
or we could just go analog again |

| they claim 256 times better than CD. what would 24bit be? exactly that. |

i really dont understand the 1-bit bitrate thing in DSD
| quote: | | For audio, a delta-sigma converter digitizes the signal 1-bit deep with a very high sampling rate: 64 times the CD Audio sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, for a rate of 2.8224 mHz (1 bit times 64 times 44.1 kHz). Advocates for this encoding state that the oversampling and subsequent digital processing reduces aliasing and other distortion or noise, potentially to a greater degree than customary PCM encoding. Meanwhile, delta-sigma elements are a normal part of the PCM encoding process. |
| quote: | | Delta-sigma encoding supports high audio resolution. DSD on SACDs have a sampling rate of 2.8 MHz which enables a frequency response of 100 kHz and a dynamic range of 120 dB. |
pretty much the same as 24bit 192khz isnt it?
wait 24bit offers -144dB dynamic range ?
so its actually worse than my existing soundcard. |

this is quite interesting after all. you dont need complicated lowpass filter above 20kHz in the DAC due to the noisefloor being "shipped" much higher and deviced on many more frequencies.
2,8Mbit/s is twice the size of a conventional CD, not that much more really. i like it. good luck changing industry commercial standards though. people seems to axept 0,128Mbit/s. |

it is rather simple to understand in its most basic form. Instead of giving you the value at a sample , it gives you wether the value is up or down. And since the frequency is so high, it just works since you never really have changes that quick.
the 1 bit does not represent the amplitude. It aknowledges that most samples will be close together, and that if you sample high enough, you can get good results by using that value to either increase or decrease the amplitude value. I'm oversimplifying it but that is pretty much what the deal is. |

| ah so every new bit converted value is dependant on the last? seem clever. interesting. im for everything that rises quality up from CD quality (and mp3!). |
