In my career in the audio industry most of the
greatest recent advances have indeed come from the
lunatic fringe.

No, they were ported in from other industries.

There hasn't been any serious R&D in this field for
over two generations.

Agreed.

Uh ?

How about all those nice new ADCs and DACs with near 24
bit performance ?

Based on communications technology, just taken to an
extreme. Initially justified for pro audio.

Comms guys certainly would have no use for them. They
only need 8 bit voice quality stuff.

True, but this is why things like sigma-delta were invented.

No, this was audio explicit R&D. You'd have to be crazy
to think otherwise.

Like I said developed for pro audio, not high end consumer audio.
