Understanding the Context

TV Technology: Linear Acoustic Demonstrates Updates for MT2000 Portable Multichannel Bitstream Analyzer at BroadcastAsia 2016 Linear Acoustic Demonstrates Updates for MT2000 Portable Multichannel Bitstream Analyzer at BroadcastAsia 2016 It supports hi-res PCM and DSD files, too. And it can deliver up to 100mW of power (single-ended) into a 32-ohm electrical load, rising to 241mW out of the balanced output, which should be enough to drive more power-hungry headphones. It's another great portable package from iFi, who is on a roll with its affordable DACs. WAV and AIFF are arguably the most popular uncompressed audio file formats, both based on PCM (Pulse Code Modulation), which is widely recognised as the most straightforward audio storage mechanism in the digital domain.

Key Insights

Both WAV and AIFF files use similar technology, but store data in slightly different ways. At its heart is the very stable and comprehensive BluOs streaming platform, which runs smoothly, supports all the popular music streaming services, is compatible with hi-res files up to 24-bit/192kHz PCM and DSD256, and, like all BluOS-powered streamers, doesn't support Chromecast.

The first is its amplitude (size). In CD this is represented by 16-bits of digital data, which gives us the ability to define 65,536 different signal levels.

Final Thoughts

The original music waveform has to be measured at regular intervals in order for it to be represented properly.
