PCM vs Dolby Digital

I'll add some techno-trivia. PCM (pulse coded modulation) is the technical name for a whole set of uncompressed (raw) digital encodings. It is defined by three parameters: Bits per sample Channels Sample frequency (samples per second, usually expressed in KHz) A single sample can be thought of as the digital value of the measurement of the analogue sound as a voltage at a single moment. 16-bits allow values 0-65535.

Why PCs are becoming the audiophile's choice

Now a new challenger is here, and it’s one that, in theory, can provide superior audio quality to CD and a greater level of convenience than both CD and vinyl. This new audio source is the home computer, which is fast cementing a place in the hearts of lovers of high quality sound. Why? Well, for starters, we’re not talking about using your PC to play highly compressed, “digital sounding” MP3 tracks. Lossless music files can offer a greater level of audio quality than CDs. Then consider convenience: imagine storing your entire record collection on a tiny, affordable hard disk (or a few tiny, affordable hard disks if your collection is particularly large), and accessing any single track, album or playlist in seconds – there’s no need to dig through record crates or spend your weekends painstakingly alphabetising your records or CDs.

Listening to music that is stored elsewhere – aka streaming it – is becoming an increasingly common practice. 1. 2. 1. 2. 3. 4. Which is the best? Onkyo is dead to me... good alternatives?

In the simplest of terms, the composite video cable mixes together all the video signals from the PlayStation 2 -- the Red, the Blue, and the Green components -- and sends them to the TV in one big morass of a signal. You can tell if you are using composite video if the yellow (video) plug on your connector cable looks identical to the red (right audio) and white (left audio) plugs. This type of plug is called an RCA connector, and it's a standard type of connection that most if not all televisions produced for the US are equipped with. Home theater & stereo systems explained. The diagram above shows all the components that are (or usually are) part of a home theater system.

But go into your local Best Buy and check out their home theaters. A lot of them don't have nearly as many parts as what's in that diagram. That's because most home theaters on the market today are packaged into all-in-one systems, with many of the component parts shown above packed into a single box. Then again, most people know a hi-fi geek with a stereo worth more than his car - and 99% of the time, it's built from separate components. So what are the trade-offs between putting multiple components in the same box, or splitting them all up into separates? Home_theater_schematic.jpg (JPEG Image, 1200 × 772 pixels) Index page.
