The iDome speaker set is a pure digital solution designed to work with all digital media with S/P DIF outputs. The idea being that the audio signal is purer and contains fewer distortions if kept in a digital format. Since all digital to analog conversions create some form of quality loss, we insist on keeping the pure stream of digital audio from your MP3 player, your iPod, your HDTV or your PC completely digital, so that you can enjoy your multimedia technology in its purest form. Unlike the competition, we embrace this new technology, custom designed by our engineers to be supreme in every way.
 
   
  History of analog/digital media
  Historically, the video recorder was the only device capable of the required high levels of bandwidth and storage space needed for preserving audio signal correctly. Then using algorithms and codecs, these traditional methods were adapted to store the digital signal, usually by interfacing said video recorder with a PCM adapter. References indicate they used either 525/60 NTSC or 625/50 PAL video with a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, a sample rate which continued well past the introduction of the CD.
   
  Recently, 16-bit digital audio was adopted as the “broadcast standard” because it offers 96 decibels (dB) of dynamic range, enough to match the quality of broadcasting in analog. Of course, modern systems do not have the earlier constraints of bandwidth and storage space; 96 kHz and 192 kHz sample rates with 24-bit samples are now commonplace and the sample rate timing can be quite precise. abit iDome features 192kHz sample rates for 24-bit sound processing environments.
