i'm a bit confused because to my knowledge capturing the pcm audio of a laserdisc through optical (toslink) is bit-perfect. i mean what else can one do? increasing the capture from 16bit to 24bit wont do anything, except a higher filesize. increasing the samplerate from 44.1khz to 48khz on capture wont do anything either, in terms of quality.
i mean, the laserdisc pcm is 16bit @ 44.1khz - what more can you do?
so what do people refer to when they talk about bit-perfect and saying that a normal digital capture wont be enough?
please enlighten me :)
