So does the 'interpolating filter' reconstruct an approximation of the waveform ? In which case why do we hear clipping at all ? Is it that a reconstructed output above 0db is sent to an amplification stage that exceeds the amp's stated capacity, overloads it, and causes subsequent clipping at that point ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ liffy99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7832 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98180 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
