Podobne reklamy tycza sie np. upsamplingu w niektorzych przetwornikach. Oczywiscie podejsc i drog jest bardzo wiele ale tak jeden z producentow dosc znanych przetwornikow wyjasnia po co mu az 192KHz - oczywiscie chodzi o upsampling:
"First of all, let me point out that there\'s no kind of magic here, as everything can be explained technically.
First of all, let\'s say the upsampling method CAN\'T improve anything. The sound of a digitally upsampled DAC is better because it is the non-upsampled one to be worse.
For, let\'s see what happens to a standard 44.1 kHz digital signal when it is converted directly by a DAC. Before going into analogue, the digital signal crosses a digital filter that oversamples it (normally 8 times, 8x oversampling, as usually called) and a second digital filter with very high slope that cuts off all the garbage above a certain frequency, quite close to the audio band.
Once the signal has been converted into analogue, it crosses another filter, an analogue one, normally of the 2nd or 3rd kind, that introduces phase rotations into the audible spectrum.
Now, how can we consider the effect of a phase rotation in the time domain?
Let\'s suppose to have a musical instrument that plays its fundamental tone and its harmonics. The first ones normally are reproduced fine...but the higher order ones are delivered to your ears with a phase rotation (with respect to the first ones) and hence with a time delay that can be heard as distorion.
What happens with upsampling? The standard 44.1 kHz digital stream is interpolated and the samples are calculated as the original signal had a 192 kHz sampling rate. BUT!!!! This process adds NOTHING to the original signal!!!! Even at 192 kHz the signal is still extended till 20 kHz!
The difference now is that the signal crosses digital filters centered at 96 kHz and the following analogue filter will be centered far from the upper limit of the audio band (actually, near 96 kHz!!!).
This means the analogue signal coming out of the DAC will be more faithful to the original one in the time domain (less phase rotations, that is)."
