World's smallest SRAM memory cell announced by IBM

Regardless it's not like the response at 20kHz suddenly drops like a brick. It probably extends all the way up to 30kHz at -10dB.

When I listen to DVD-A I can choose to bypass the EQ depending on the sampling frequency of the track. Normally at 48kHz I use the EQ, at 96kHz I bypass the EQ depending on the quality of the mix.

It's a digital-based fricken device. If 20 kHz is the upper limit, that's the end of the line. Just like you don't expect to get stuff out of a CD at above 22 kHz. It's the same deal. If it is "processing", it is filtering out the ultrasonics above the designated upper limit by virtue of its very operation in the digital domain. If it is pass-thru, then what is the point of using it at all? How in the world can you buy a device like this, make vivid claims of what it can do based on the literature you've read on it, and then only "probably" know what it does at 30 kHz?! Yeah, you own one all right... Game over- lights out already.

Maybe because I purchased it before I purchased my DVD-A player ie it was used for CDA initially?

Regardless there IS a differrence in sound between CDA and DVD-A even when the EQ is flat so the 20kHz cutoff doesn't necessarily prevent me from hearing the higher quality output. There's more to DVD-A than just wider frequency response. Oh and btw AFAIK CDA only goes up to 20kHz.

Like I said sometimes I use the EQ with DVD-A sometimes I don't depending on the quality of the mix. It's not like I need to always use it with DVD-A considering I originally bought it for other uses ie CDA.

And yes looking at this thread it's Game Over indeed.

What is it doing to the signal to make the output higher quality? Normally I thought more processing is a bad thing. Unless by "higher quality" you mean more pleasing to your own ears and not necessarily a cleaner signal.

It's not doing anything to the signal since the EQ is set to flat. DVD-A simply sounds better than CD-A. I only set it to flat for testing purposes.
