Xiph.org - Excellent videos on digital multimedia

Sometimes you find absolutely outstanding videos on the internet. Such is the case of a brief video series by xiph.org on digital media. The host explains with very visual examples some concepts that are always misunderstood when comparing analog audio to digital, like that there is audible signal quality loss because of the conversion (not true). My favorite take-aways have been:
  • Why 22 bit audio has no real advantages over 16 bit (for playback).
  • A better understanding on the noise-level of digital audio and the effects of dither.

Really, if you consider yourself an audiophile of level 3 or beyond, you really should watch his videos to deepen your knowledge about the joys of high quality media playback.
