This ain’t true - for example Bluetooth is lossy compression.
‘Digital’ doesn’t mean lossless from the source.
- CyberDildonics 4y agoYou are conflating compression and verbatim copying which are two different things and obviously not what they're talking about.
- chrisseaton 4y agoWhat they said: > The signal is digital until it gets to the speaker so there is no loss of quality after the initial encoding isn't true - the original encoding is decoded... and re-encoded, losslessly, by the Bluetooth protocol.
- djmips 4y agoWho said they were talking about Bluetooth. It sounds like they were talking about a proprietary system like Sonos Wifi.
- chrisseaton 4y ago> Who said they were talking about Bluetooth. Literally says ‘Bluetooth’ in the original comment.
- djmips 4y agoOriginal comment. "and then sent over Wifi or Bluetooth" the information about lossless was informative.
