But wouldn’t a higher performance A/D converter also mean you’d have to bring 
forth more DSP computing power? 

Because, whether you increase the sample rate or the number of bits per sample, 
it’s more data to process every second. 

Is there that much spare DSP computing power in the K4? Could you double the 
sample rate and still handle all the bits?

(Or did we have some other definition of “higher-performance”?)
