Title: Latency Question Post by: Scroobius on May 08, 2010, 01:06:16 pm Hi - just a basic question why should latency affect sound quality? surely if bits (or words) are clocked out of a buffer exactly as they were clocked in then the time spent in the buffer should not affect sound quality.
P Title: Re: Latency Question Post by: PeterSt on May 08, 2010, 01:53:57 pm Good question. Why would "bit perfect" software be able to change sound quality in the first place ?
Quote surely if bits (or words) are clocked out of a buffer exactly as they were clocked in then the time spent in the buffer should not affect sound quality. Whether that would be true or not is less important, because : No such thing (from your quote) exists; The clocking out (or reading out) is not under the direct control of the PC; the DAC causes that. When the buffer runs empty that can be seen, and that indication fills the buffer again (this *is* under control of the PC hence the playback software). Peter |
