New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

don't know about MLP specifically...

but this is what people were talking about.

A compression algorithm like mp3 is designed to put out data at a constant rate. A lossless compression will not be like this. Depending on the predictability of the incoming data, it will put out more bits or less bits per unit time. It has to put out enough bits to completely represent the incoming data, or it will not be lossless.

So there are times, according to what was written here earlier, when MLP puts out too much data for the available bandwidth. To stop this from happening, you can remove some information from the original signal, so you put in some filtering perhaps.

Not a big deal, probably not of audible consequence. But it would be a factor limiting the bandwidth below theoretical maximum of the samplling rate.
