Wow. I haven't the energy to read through this. Is it worth getting involved? Can someone summarize the ad hominem comments for me and let me know where we stand so far in this thread?

Casey,
The quantization error is a signal unto itself. If you take all of the quantization error from every sample and you line them up you have a signal - a signal that is added to the original...

Good question. I'm afraid that I'm far enough away from current listening tests and real world equipment that I cannot answer this. Having said this, there are a few tests that I know of:...

Truth is, if you recorded hot enough that you were teasing the red light then you probably DID clip even if all of the samples you recorded are "legal" (below full scale). One does not have to clip...

There's not a 100% linear way of doing it, but it can certainly be done to a degree that renders any resulting distortion inaudible.

Be careful with this approach as well. The ear does not hear things loud the same as it does quiet, and these algorithms are intended and designed to work with that phenomenon. What you "hear" when...

I think this might be a bit much of an assumption. Several have reported being able to hear the differences between sample rates on a simple pass-through of those converters. You might double check...

No. Nobody is saying that 88.2kS/s CAN'T sound better than lower sample rate material - only that it needn't and won't if everything is done correctly. It all comes down to implementation

Don't forget about the Trillium Lane MasterMeter, a plugin that reconstructs waveforms prior to metering.

Re: Soundtoys Echoboy now available
Ken,
Who does direct, integer-based sample rate conversion these days? I'm not aware of anyone. Also, what is so hard about sample rate converting from 96 to, say, 44.1kS/s?

It does hard-code the incoming jitter into the results, but it removes any jitter that would be a byproduct of the PLL.
Not that I can see. It's still just a way of sending different types of...

OK. They're using an asynchronous sample rate converter instead of a PLL. This means that, rather than slave the internal clock to the external clock, they keep them separate and resample the...

Re: External AD converters and word clock for 002R
It's still a PLL in there. They might do something in there with a DSP chip (though I don't know what) but they still need a PLL in order to slave the internal clock to the outside.

Re: 48K vs 44.1 - That big a deal?
The filter is less steep, but we use linear-phase filters in this industry for that task, now, so phase shift is not a problem.

Only with poorly implemented or non-linear EQs. If the EQ is linear (in other words not trying to resemble an analog EQ by adding some form of compression as well) there should be no reason for it...

Again, I can't tell you that it WILL be better clocking off of the Digi002r, just that their is greater likelihood that direction.

The level that is captured during the bounce is the same level that is being sent to your converters - the same level that shows on the master fader. If your master fader is showing very low signal...
