- I haven't looked at the commerical market for equilizers, but I don't
- don't beleive there is such a beast a real digital equilizer. I say this
- because at the last company I work for built a one based on a FFT chip
- we made. We beleive it was first true digital equilizer. (Equilization
- was only one of the function it could do.)
-
- Back to the question, of course they "degrade" the signal path, because
- they change it, but this change was exactly what you wanted, (to about
- 100db if they use enough bits). So the idea to degrade the signal path in
- the inverse way that you speaker do.
