In Reply to: Low level resolution absent in DSD? posted by tenor39 on May 27, 2004 at 10:06:56:
Below is a thread where Christine observed the same behaviour.The cool edit statistic showed no samples below a certain level.
After she slapped a 6th order bessel filter at 20kHz the resolution showed up below that level.
With dsd it's a trade off between bandwidth or resolution.
In a practical setup without this filter there is indeed a loss of resolution. With a 50kHz filter (standard in most sacd players) it seems that the signal is not completely recovered from the noise floor.
I did some tests myself and found the noisefloor on some pure dsd recordings always at approximate -70dB* below full output.
*Not calibrated yet due to lack of pure dsd test signal disc.
