- I'm not an propeller-head-electronic-wiz-kid, but I don't think
- those figures are accurate. If the board filters all frequencies
- over 2.6 kHz, it would limit the effective sampling rate to
- 1.3 kHz, according to Nystroms theorem.
-
- This *can't* be accurate, all digital audio would be useless, and
- it isn't.
- So, it's probably a misprint of some sort.
-
- The analog circuitry on the other hand, could have the right figures.
