Which leaves me wondering where the beef is.

It seems to me that that the evidence you say they uncovered: "they tried to
measure the capacitors sensitivity to
external sound, and they found nothing" should have led them to conclude
that they were on a fool's errand.

However, the fool's money has been screaming in their ears, filling heir
coffers, feeding their children, and thus motivating them onward to higher
and higher levels of foolish behavior for at least 10 years, so being
well-conditioned to act foolishly, they bravely soldiered on.



Maybe so, The main reason I posted the link was in the hope that others
(esp Jim) would be interested enough to dig a bit deeper.

As a entirly differebt topic you may have some input on Arni, I have
been enjoying myself playing with/learning VHDL and using a FPGA between
a spdif reciever and some DAC's, just for the hell of it.

So I have been looking into the theory and practice of digital
filtering, as much as anything to find something to try and keep the old
gray cells going, writing data processing software for a living pays the
bills but gets a bit simple after 10 years.

Chord and several others before them are making big noises about their
new DAC's which claim wonders due to the use of a filter designed by
someone called Robert Watts, he calls it a Watts Transient Aligned
filter. Other than on Chords pages, or related adverts/review sites I
can find no mention of this alg on the web at all, and neither can I
find anything in the IEEE library. Does it ring a bell with yourself (or
anyone) or is it just more BS?
