- One last thing that has always puzzled me:
-
- My CD player, and many on the market today, are toted as having "one bit
- digital to analog converters" Now, anyone who knows diddly about how
- these things work, knows that if you really hooked up a "one bit" DAC to
- the data on a CD, you'd get complete static. So, whats the deal with
- this? What does it really mean.
-
- BTW, some brands call this "MASH" (I believe Technics, Panasonic, and
- their subsidiaries)
