Re: I Think It's Corrupt Beyond Recognition.....

"Then take DCS' Purcell upsampler. Which introduced asynchronous sample-rate conversion to the audio world."

Where were dCS in the seventies, when this happened:

"Our (DECCA) converters were 'home designed and built' so we were again
able to learn from the horse's mouth how to keep them aligned for best performance. First converters 16
bit, later 20 bit. Tony Griffiths and his team were adamant the sampling rate should be 48Khz, Sony
plumping for 44Khz. This meant that when the CD came along sample rate converters had to be made in
order to produce master tapes for the CD production process as the factories mastered from U Matic
machines. When Mitsubishi produced their 32-track recorder it was capable of 44, 48 and 50K, also the
earlier 3M 32 track machines could be used at 48K."
