Why don't you tell us?

 

also who makes it.... there's texas instruments who mainstreams it for Denon (Home I know... Car??) but I saw a Sony CDX-7815 24/bit Burr Brown...... hmmmm now me thinky not same......

 

texas instruments now ownes the name burr brown

 

PM me.

 

A downside to the 24 bit is they create a great deal more heat within the unit than compared to a 1 bit. And except for usually a price premium, that's about the only cons I can find to using 24 bit.

 

eventually there will be so many bits it'll become analog. why doesn't someone work on a way to make analog sound digital?

 

Because by definition that is impossible [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

 

No matter how small the steps are, digital is still digital. The question is, at what point does the difference between the two become inaudible. I'm not a photographer, but at what point does a digital picture become indistinguishable?

As for analog to digital, it's done all the time. The human voice is not digital, but it gets recorded onto a CD, which is digital, then converted back.

Nothing beats live music......

BTW, I have a Nakamichi TD1200 Mk II up for sale.

 

a thousand years from now we'll have a sampling frequency of a zillion x 10^10 hz and it will still be digital but pretty close to analog. Maybe we can work on a better medium for capturing and reproducing analog without all the noise, flutter, and limited response that cost under $100.00 for hardware. Until then I will make do.
