Pulse code modulation players offer high sound quality

  1. Mmm. Didn’t young Clive Sinclair sell a PCM amplifier back in the mid 1960s? Clever design, didn’t work.

  2. The bit rate is samples per second × bits per sample × channels. If it’s rate is only 16-24 bits (per second needs to be added to make it a rate) then it will sound terrible if you can hear it at all, which you almost certainly can’t. If that’s what nikkei.net are saying, (I don’t have a subscription), then they’re idiots. They probably mean 16-24 bits per sample. If it’s stereo and 16 bit samples on each channel, that makes the minimum bit rate 1536Kb/s, which is better than CD quality. Choosing linear sampling is a little odd too, as thats older than the CD audio format (which uses it too) and is just wasting data compared to other options. Compression is not a disadvantage by the way if you use a lossless compression algorithm. Sounds to me like nikkei.net are helping to marchitect the sale of Sanyo.

  3. Marchitect? :)

  4. Schmarchitect? :)
