To help newbies and others, can posters define the acronyms they use. For example, I saw a recent post on the DAC subforum (I do know what a DAC is - I have three of them). It said NOS R2R DAC. I assumed they were looking for a New Old Stock DAC, but after reading a few replies, clearly it wasn't. I knew that the DAC didn't play Reel to Reel tapes (I also have three R2R machines) and it means resistor to resistor. So I looked up NOS in wiki and there were about 100 definitions for NOS, none other than Not One Scratch or New Old Stock that seemed to apply to an old DAC. Anyway, I finally thought of Non Oversampling which I hope is correct. It would helpful at least the first time the acronym is used in a post, in the OP original post or by the OP original poster, that it be defined.
