![]() So multichannel records consume disk space to extra channels. But it is listened at stereo headphones, as rule. ![]() Portable devices are able to playback multichannel files. "Big" home audio systems have no disk space issues in many cases. Especially, it is actually for portable devices: digital audio players (DAP), mobile phones, etc. Size compressed file types are used for saving hard disk space. If there are non-correct data, the software may to reject file opening (depend on implementation). ![]() Sometimes the software check data integrity. And the reading software recognize the block types. Examples: *.m4a files can contains either ALAC or AAC FLAC can contains either FLAC or MQA or DoP.Ī reading software (player, converter, editor, other) parse file. Sometimes files with same extension may contains different extensions. "kHz" mean sampling rate value (example: 96 kHz).

In the table noted only file abilities, that author know. Read more how to works DACs, about its advantages and disadvantages: It happens because audible range has a fixed width. Thus, increasing of the total band of an analog signal after DAC (sampling rate increasing) decrease the noise level in the audible range. The energy of quantization noise is constant in total band. The quantization noise is equitably distributed across frequency on the digital signal spectrum. The error is observed as quantization noise at digital signal spectrum. The error is various for each sample and lesser than 1. Quantization error is difference between sample (digital value) and real voltage of analog signal. So stored codes (samples) are not equal exactly to real analog voltage. The limitation is defined by total number of measured levels L. Rounding is more exact mathematically, than the truncation.Ĭodes of analog values, stored into the words have precision limitation. Rounding may be applied when float point bit depth is converted to integer one. Rounding is bit depth reducing via removing of one or more bits with altering of reduced number according to removed bit(s). PCM encoding is the conversion of an analog signal to digital form.īit depth truncation is bit depth reducing via removing of one or more bits. PCM analog-digital converter, quantizationĪnalog-digital converter (ADC) is a device, that periodically measure analog signal voltage and send the measured values as numbers (in digital form) to PCM digital audio output. These values may be converted back to the audio signal via digital-to-analog converter device. Special device - analog-to-digital converter - rapidly measure momentary values of the audio signal (its voltage). Lossy is compression or storage audio with the losses.Īudio file is file that contains audio (including musical) information.Īudio signal in musical system (amplifier, AV-receirer, etc.) is altering voltage same to acoustical waveform changing. Lossless is compression or storage audio without sound quality losses. It's analog audio output.īitstream is throughput volume in bit per second (kbit per second, kbps). Audio output may transmit signal in analog form. Transmit audio (in digital or analog form between devices).Īudio interface is part of computer, AV-receiver, TV, DAC, DAP (digital audio player) and others.ĭAC is digital to analog converter (kind of audio interface).Īudio output is connector, audio data transmition protocol and hardware, included to an audio interface, to transmit audio data to other device.

Throughput limitation of communication channels (or audio interfaces).Ĭompression may be lossless or cause sound quality losses. From design point of view, digital audio technologies allow to achieve lower distortions, than analog ones.Īnd other) contains musical signal in this PCM format.Īudio data may be size compressed to solve issue of: Main advantage of discrete values, is ability to transmit/store with control of a errors and technical opportunity to recover it (when special coding are applied). So, the signal should be represented as discrete values (samples), that may be stored into computer memory.īefore listening, these discrete values should be transformed back to continuous signal. The point is computer can't store continuous things like analog audio signal.
