What I'm trying to say is that if/when digital is done right we won't be discussing differences in sound because there won't be any. Since that probably won't really happen (we're on some sort of sigmoid curve) the differences will get more and more slight. Which is good.
DACs don't take a lot of power and if they are designed properly don't radiate RF either. IOW that's an engineering issue.What are your thoughts on impact of energy crises and excess of RF in the home and mobile environment listening occurs in?
It is indeed a positive trend that digital audio is becoming better every year. It is also great that there is a robust competition within audio industry as the companies have to constantly improve their products and introduce more creative technologies to attract customers.what I'm trying to say is that if/when digital is done right we won't be discussing differences in sound because there won't be any.

One thing I can conclude is how I have been misled by both.sides on the issue of sampling rates.
Nyquist recommends twice per cycle. What is your point?
First of all Nyquist said at least twice per cycle. I need to correct that.Your recent interests on the forum suggest awareness of proposals Nyquist is a simplification one needs to unlearn in order to address genius claiming to have evolved beyond.
Specifically, what two sides and what issue misled?
Not sure what your post means. They Nyquist-Shannon theorem is very well established and mathematically proven. The sample rate needs to be 2 times the highest frequency that needs to be reproduced. Thus the 44.1KHz sample rate of a CD would faithfully reproduce frequencies of 22.05 KHz which is already above the threshold of even young humans. However, there is an interesting audio clip I heard several years ago where a piano note was played. In one recording the sample rate was such that the harmonics went well beyond 20KHz and the other a brick wall filter was put in. There was an obvious difference in sound quality.Your recent interests on the forum suggest awareness of proposals Nyquist is a simplification one needs to unlearn in order to address genius claiming to have evolved beyond.

Have you examined the videos I posted?
I can see no links, so just posting it here. I believe this is what you meant
