Yes, Dave, and I believe that a few months ago, as he mentioned, I turned Sat on to that link. It's interesting to go to the data sheets of the various chip makers and read about their DSPs(digital signal processors),DACs(digital to analog converters)etc. When you do that you see that the performance numbers on these chips are so good these days that they typically all perform beyond human audibility and beyond the needs of the material they'll be helping to reproduce. Equipment makers use the chip that meets their needs and negotiate the best price for the large quantities that they'll buy. For example, they can get excellent DAC chips for $1 each. So, while it may be of academic interest to read about this, it doesn't make any practical difference to the listener. For example, a use of dual DACs per channel offers a theoretical 3dB better signal to noise ratio, but it's already fine with one. Great stuff is cheap these days since the technology is now mature.
