RE: Best processors -but best tech ?

Posted by J. Phelan on February 21, 2017 at 14:04:21:
Thanks for saying that delta/sigmas have very high quantization noise. As you know, quantization is a cornerstone of digital audio.
Look at the specs -the Burr-Brown 1704 measured much better than delta/sigmas. But delta/sigmas invaded high-end audio. Partially due to availability. But then engineers *ignoring the specs* and marching forward with cheaper chips.
Why start off on the wrong foot ?
