[sdiy] uLaw DACs in the modern era?

[Tom Wiltshire]

Thanks Richie, but unfortunately I don’t have a machine that will run it. Got Macs and Androids, but no Win boxes currently. My old “electronics PC” fell down the stairs in a hideous accident some time ago…

Pity, because I was looking at SpinASM recently too, and that’s Win only as well.

Then open this new file and you will see (and hear) the effects of the non-linear quantisation.  You can do an A/B comparison.  To my ears the quantisation just makes things sound slightly fuzzy and indistinct.
