fun fact, CDs are literal spirals with one long track, not sectors like a hard drive. they are designed to be able to play with no buffering so the bits can go directly from the laser to the DAC. it’s basically a phonograph but with digital encoding.

You sound smart. What was meant by the “8 times oversampling” that my cd player was so proud of itself for?

Is the PS1 DAC actually any better than other Sony DACs?

Aren’t Sony CD DACs just good in general?
