| That just doesn't compute. The "32 bits" must mean something else.
For one thing, nobody makes 32 bit D/A convertors, and if anyone
were to try, the cost would probably be horrendous.
"32 bits" of sample resolution would give a dynamic range of about
192 db, which handily exceeds the capability of any analog amplification
equipment. So, no, the sound would probably not be "noticeably"
better. There isn't anything you could listen to it through. 192
db also exceeds the dynamic range of the ear - it covers the ground
from absolute silence to utter destruction of the inner ear.

| 1953.2 | stereo? | MIZZOU::SHERMAN | but I'm feeling *much* better now ... | Thu Apr 06 1989 16:01 | 3 |
| Could it be 16 bits for the left and 16 bits for the right?

| I bet it's one bit per quantum per hit, i.e., a bit on means hit
the cymbals, e.g.

| 1953.4 | TX802 is 256 bits! (16 voices x 16 bit d/a) | DYO780::SCHAFER | Brad - back in Ohio. | Thu Apr 06 1989 17:45 | 7 |
| That's like the marketeers for Peavey boasting that their new machine
is "56" bit. They added the bit values of the various d/a processors
on board (16 left + 16 right + 24 data path).
Isn't there some law against lying - even for marketeers?

| No, I think marketeers are exempt....

| 1953.6 | It is stereo... | SAGAN2::LOWE | Chris Lowe | Fri Apr 07 1989 09:22 | 5 |
| It is a stereo unit.... I'll have to read the literature a little
more closely. I'll let you know.

| That's it! 16 bit X 2 Channels
