Has anyone read the article "Dirty Digital" by Noel Keywood in July's
"Hi-Fi World"? I picked up a copy for some amusement during a journey
yesterday and was stunned by the article's technical incompetence.

Keywood says of CD that "dynamic range is limited to 85 dB or so by
dither noise" (incorrect - it's actually about 93.3 dB IIRC for 2 LSB p-p
of TPDF dither). Then he complains, disingenuously, about the "dirty
distortion" of quantization on CD (he calls it "digital distortion"),
misunderstanding the fact that it just isn't present when you use dither.

Yeah, so he's a ****. He works in hi-fi. What did you expect ?

Maybe it's all part of a big plan to get us to go back to valve radiograms ?
