- Description
- DSD uses pulse-density modulation encoding - a technology to store audio signals on digital storage media which are used for the SACD. The signal is stored as delta-sigma modulated digital audio, a sequence of single-bit values at a sampling rate of 2.8224 MHz (64 times the CD audio sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, but only at 1⁄32768 of its 16-bit resolution). Noise shaping occurs by use of the 64-times oversampled signal to reduce noise and distortion caused by the inaccuracy of quantization of the audio signal to a single bit. Therefore, it is a topic of discussion whether it is possible to eliminate distortion in one-bit delta-sigma conversion.
- Texinfo is a markup language and file format used to produce both online documentation and printed manuals from a single source file. It is the official documentation format of the GNU Project, allowing output to formats like HTML, PDF, and Info. The .texi extension marks source files written in this markup before processing by the texinfo toolchain.
