Anyone have some information on LPCM? A link or two? My googling has not been fruitful. What is it? Quality-wise, how does it compare to most CDs, DVD-Audio, SACD?
thanks

Linear Pulse Code Modulation. It's a digital audio encoding method that uses a linear amplitude scale, as opposed to standard PCM's logarithmic amplitude scale. A linear scale uses more bits to encode the same amount of data since it takes a lot more linear steps to jump from, say, 0db to 10db.
LPCM is uncompressed and can use up to 24-bit/96kHz sampling.
