I have not read, however, what the actual format on the disc is. How many (data) bits per sample and how many samples per second are actually on the disc? (I do know the fundamental sample rate is 44.1kHz per channel) Does anybody have a reference? (I don't know much about digital signal processing, but I had this one idea that digital filtering and oversampling could be similar - interpolate extra numbers between the known numbers and feed them to the D2A). BTW: How do you prefer to spell disk?
