The best theoretical possible noise level in a digital stream is typically defined by the amount of necessary dither. If a file is dithered appropriately for 16 bits, simply increasing the bit depth cannot magically reduce any noise (i.e. dither) already there.
Sure they are related. The question at hand is if the 24 bit captured file can have dynamic range of over 96 dB or not.
No, not all in digital domain. Like I said, it was digital to analog converted first. The analog signals then being digitalized using ADC. The ADC don't care about what bit the original file is, am I correct? If there is absolute silence from the analog out, then ADC would save that absolute silence as absolute silence in 24 bit representation. That absolute silence in 24bit vs max volume in 24 bit, aren't they supposed to be 144 dB?
In the real world it would be total silence plus 16 bit dither!
Yup, the video demo multiple conversions. DAC first, then ADC convert whatever analog signals it received and save in 24 bit file.
Unfortunately I am not sure what 16 bit dither does.
Yes, certainly (we each could name plenty of them). I didn't mean to imply otherwise. Still, I think the distinction between a conscious liar and someone who believes their own concoctions is interesting. I suspect the latter will appear more convincing to the naive. In the end, as you say, the customer still gets scammed.
Agree. Let's move on.
Tomorrow i will test both e30 only fooded by ifi power (that's my smps). Then with coaxial rca, then with interconnect and, of course, touch no metal surfaces to discard (or not) electricity issueI was only half joking... In any case, this video just oozes bullshit from all orophoses. 101.4 dB Dynamic range from a recording that can only have a maximum of 96dB of dynamic range? It was a 16 bit source, sampling it at 24 bits does not give it any more.. it's clearly nonsense.
You cannot actually use Audio DiffMaker to evaluate these kind of things. The auto alignment only works on whole samples, so you'll need to start the recording of both sources at the exact same time to be able to subtract the actual files. Any tiny misalignment will invalidate the result, which is exactly what happens here.
And now really back on topic, I you want to discuss more make your own topic, or buy the damn thing and send it in for testing. I hope @finitol found some time to stroke his E30 some more
So, it is $400/130ft or $3.0769 per ft. Not $0.05 per ft..... like someone else estimated....Even if you divided by 4 for 1 discrete connection, it is still $0.76 per ft.
I ordered the E30 and L30 from APOS and they arrived to eastern US in 4 days amazingly.
Bear in mind I bought a 'short' length at retail price with expensive terminations. ISPs buy their fiber optic cables in bulk (hundreds of miles) and have the means to splice and terminate them on site. Their fiber cables are also capable of much, much higher data rates over very long distances....
