In Reply to: The more you crank it up, the more dynamic range you get, but also the more amplifier power you need posted by Christine Tham on September 13, 2005 at 15:47:45:
I tend to agree with that statement. I certainly can't hear it. However, I also tend to believe that non-integral sample rate conversion cannot be audibly distinguished from integral sample rate conversion. And there is certainly no conlusive evidence to the contrary for that either.There is a psychological effect for me however. Just knowing that there will be temporal errors introduced in non-integral SRC, regardless of how infinitesimally small (inaudible) they may be, just rubs me the wrong way. So I prefer integral SRC.
For the same reason I prefer high bit/sample rate PCM to DSD. Why bother with a system that generates measurable noise-shaping artifacts, whether audible or not, when you can have a measuably cleaner PCM reproduction.
But that's just the engineer in me I guess. I always prefer the most elegant solution to a problem.
