  • Page 14 Taking On the Challenge to Reduce Digital Distortion DENON led the world in developing a practical PCM recorder in 1972. The shift to digital technology solved numerous problems such as noise, wow, flutter, and frequency response. The delicate nuances of sound from CD up to the least significant bit (LSB) are lost, however, due to the 16-bit quantisation and band cutting at fs/2 (half the sampling frequency) during 44.1-kHz sampling.
