Home Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Linearly quantized

The dynamic range listed for n number of bits assumes a minimum quantization of 1dB, no? 20log(10)[2^16]=96.3dB.

Has it been established that 1dB is enough? At all frequencies? Established with a modern state of the art system with audiophiles? (not blindfolded psychology students from 1960)

There have been complaints about low level resolution since the arrival of CD. By your reasoning, one might think that electronics (and speakers) would produce too much noise and distortion to be able to hear the relative noise and distortion of cables.
