Boatguy Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Newbie question: Does anyone know if a good graphic that shows all the pieces of the signal path from storage to speakers? This sounds trivial, but I'm looking for pretty fine resolution in terms of the pieces. Where do "player software" like Pure Music" fit in? Where do volume and other adjustments get made (I know - there are choices). Ideally someone would have an interactive graphic that shows the various options of how the signal travels. I'm looking for the big picture, with fine granularity. Thanks! Link to comment

Speakers aren't shown but they connect to the amplifier. http://www.audioquest.com/pdfs/Computer-Audio-Demystified-WhitePaper-EN-R2.pdf "Relax, it's only hi-fi.

Boatguy Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Thank you Allan. That is a good piece, which I have already read. I'm looking for a little more granularity. What's happening to the signal at each stage and what are the tradeoffs? BTW, I love your signature:"Relax, it's only hi-fi. There's never been a hi-fi emergency." - Roy Hall" Link to comment
