So how "memory drive" makers explain why PC with something like SB isn't enough?..
BTW, redundancy is limited, always. 100% redundancy means a second copy of the whole CD. This is why error correction implemented in the standard CD player isn't worth much. I remember I read somewhere that CDP has to use interpolation much more often then "error correction" exactly due to insufficient redundancy. In those cases ability to re-read the same place several times on different speeds is much more effective. -- 325xi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 325xi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5661 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24957 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
