Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Couple questions about DSP for the LFR's

Why would it degrade it at all? Its that sort of BS advert they always like to put out that shows a nice ultra smooth sine wave with the words Analog, and then they show a jagged 4 bit step representation beside it calling it digital.

Look at actual music sounds on an oscilloscope and it isn't all that nice clean smooth curves. Then look at reality of signal to noise ratio of all the analog sources that you can get and then compare it to that of CD @ 16/44 and it rivals just about everything out there. You are more likely to get far more noise picked up from the length of wire running from your amp to the actual speakers than you will get induced from converting your analog signal back into a digital form so that the rear speaker offset can be calculated then it sent back to the analog domain.
