Simple answers i'm afraid:
No, it is digital, but don't let that 'word' confuse you. Again, an understaning of the matrix's is needed.
Pre or Post? Not sure what you mean, but 'During' LOL
No Pictures, no information, no specs. Copyright OD.
So it's some sort of hardware device that is processing the signal during the process, digitally. I'm not sure where analog comes into this then, but maybe I am just confused.
I will admit that I do not understand the equations and the extent of my physics knowledge is an open book test Physics I in high school, reading and watching physics shows on PBS.
I fully agree that I am not mentally equiped to enter into any sort of mathmatical or engineering debate.
Please don't take my words as an 'attack' but I know how important details and proof are to you. You demand the details and proof of the Involve folks, but you don't seem willing to take steps to shed any light on your own process and what exactly makes it correct or superior.
I know you have a lot of impressive examples of your decoding work, but so far what I have seen of the Involve decode looks fairly impressive as well. So there really is no way to properly compare the two processes as technical details of the Involve and the OD process are still partially veiled in secrecy.
I understand why you both have secrets, you guys don't want people to steal your work. Quite franlky neither the OD process or the Involve process can easily be compared by the layman other than listening, scoping and comparing wav files (which can be difficult for someone with no background in audio engineering).
Also I think the Involve process isn't entirely on the DSP chips. Hopefully the Involve people can verify this or correct me if I'm wrong.
I really have no clear reason to believe there is anything wrong with the basic decoding math Involve is using. If there is one, I'm begging, please let me know what it is. As far as the rest of the Involve process, that's just a form of logic. Everyone touts the Tate, but it uses a logic process no one dreampt of in the heart of the SQ era. I don't see how this new version of logic from the Involve people is any differant.
OD, I respect your work and I respect your knowledge, but you really should consider your own words of "put up or shut up"
