- The source (i.e CD's) are 16 bit 44.1 khz sampled). The 1 bit , 18 bit, oversampling and all other tricks works on that source.
- The 18 and 20 bit D/A try to overcome the problem of linearity of the D/A.
- The oversampling is based on interpolating the 44.1 khz samples trying to
- "emulate" a higher sampling rate by means of (sin x)/x digital filter.
- The overrsampling procedure has 2 effects:
- 1) The sharpness requirement of the analogue lpf are loosened . A less smooth LPF causes less distortion.
- 2) The quantisation noise is reduced ,by spreading it over higher bandwidth
