And why would what George states be a problem, anyway?
bring back dynamic range

The issue here is that digital is only capable of representing one sample and point of reference at any given moment. No amount of differing has been able to correct it.When it shifts from one sample and reference point to another, it does so in a nonlinear, stair-stepping fashion.
These 2 problems result in a clearly skewed representation that is devoid of a true, fluid range that clearly lacks the ability to present 2 or more levels of threshold simultaneously.
This is one of many problems that needs to be addressed if digital is ever going to replace analog as a competitive hi-fidelity medium.
I'm still not with you. As far as I can see you failed to clarify your position to a bunch of experienced EEs.Please explain "point of reference".
Please explain "shifts from one ... reference point to another"
Please explain "clearly skewed representation"
Please explain "the ability to present 2 or more levels of threshold simultaneously"
And please do so in a way that makes it clear that you are not discussing quantisation error and a lack of reconstruction filtering.
Also please define the sort of digital system you are comparing to the sort of analogue system. Is this about the mathematics of sampling and/or quantisation? About ADC/DAC chip limitations? About ADC/DAC systems? Mathematical analogue? Magnetic tape? LP?
digital is perfect, ABSOLUTELY perfect!
HowdyIf you had read our posts you would know that. Werner, myself, and others here are well aware of the shortcomings (and strengths for that matter) of digital. Also, if you note, we are willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but so far we haven't found common terminology to really understand what you are trying to say.
nt.
Not only have you people disrespected my knowledge on the subject, the complexity of the issue is apparently beyond your ability to understand.I will not be participating in this thread any further.
HowdyIf you know the standard terminology why don't you use it? If you don't know the standard terminology or even attempt to use it you'll find it very hard to communicate in the future.
Despite your protestations I and others here obviously know a lot more than you give us credit for and despite misunderstandings at times we still manage to discus technical matters.
