It doesn't really matter HOW they do it, as long as you get the advantages of float encoding (practically infinite headroom). Of course if you zoom in enough there will be something in there that uses integers, but this would be true for e.g. a floating point adder as well.
- numpad0 3y agoIt should matter that "practiaclly infinite headroom" comes from the fact that the raw samples has 64 bit of dynamic range, than output format being float. (does that mean there is a crossover in the middle of amplitude range that shows LSBs of one of ADCs poking their heads, I mean, in a hypothetical ultra-naive implementation?)
- whyoh 3y ago>the advantages of float encoding (practically infinite headroom) The best implementations have a dynamic range of about 140-150 dBA. Floating point is not needed to achieve that and it isn't always used (look at Stagetec products).
