Hi. I have one newbie question. If i want to play some audio source that is
connected to my receiver with some digital link ie. optics then some logic
tells me that there should be no difference if i played it from some crapy
mobile phone (if it can send digital signal through ie. optics) or some high
end audio box? Is this true? I mean in digital world 1 is always 1 and 0 is
always 0 so if the rigth bits come from source to receiver that's it.
If the crappy mobile phone could send uncompressed audio data, it would be
just as good as anything else that can send uncompressed audio data.
The problem, unfortunately, is that most consumer devices employ compression
and once you have used lossy compression, all of the serious advantages of
digital recording fly out the window.
