Re: That's a red herring

"A/D (and D/A) converters have seen *tremendous* sonic improvements since their introduction. Why is that? Could it be because there were fundamental problems with the technology?"


You could ask that same question for, let's see, car engines. The Otto or Diesel engine as it was made 100 years ago was able to get a car from A to B. Nice, everyone's happy, why improve them. Modern engines are more efficient, consume less, pollute less, last longer. Still, they don't do anything different than the century old engine, they only get a car from A to B. I don't think that anyone seriously thinks that there was a fundamental problem with Otto's or Diesel's design (or Wankel's or Elsbett's, for that matter).
