In Reply to: If all these old DACs are gone, why the fetish over bit perfect? posted by Tony Lauck on June 9, 2009 at 13:59:22:
Tony.
16 bit discussion? Again? Bit perfect from 16bit era? No losses?
You really disappoint me. Your reasoning seems to be far off reality and refers to mid-fi talk only. I don't know if you ever had to do with in-depth analysis of data-processing, audio applications and OSs.
What has 16bit/24bit/32bit or whatever bithdepth to do with bit-perfect transfer from A to B.
A bit-perfect transfer of data is the only way to compare different systems and setups. And this got IMO priority one. This must be a common basis for all serious systems. You need to have at least one constant. Otherwise we can stop any discussions about soundquality over here.
Forget that myth about no information lost. All this is just about simple math and the related errors when processing simple digital numbers. If you touch the original value, you'll face losses.
