Spectral analysis and bit depth/resolution in Stereophile review "Measurements" section

Submitted by hollowman on

I read thru the topical section in the Quality... article from 1995, as well as countless Measurements sections in Stereophile CDP or D/A reviews old and new.

I don't understand:

(a) how Stereophile derives bit depth from Spectral Analysis?
(b) why bit depth/resolution is randomly reported in Measurements (i.e., reported in review of a particular CD Player or D/A processor and not a particular CD Player or D/A processor in another review)?

Audio on old video's

I have some old video's of party's and family events. These often have a lot of very bad sound in addition to the conversations I am interested in. Is there a CSI like audio program that could separate out the conversations I want from the music and background noise that makes the thing a sonic mess??

On a related question/issue...I was watching a CSI again last night and once again they used a crappy surveillance video to find a car in the crime. They goosed the video to make the fuzzy license plate clear...does such video enhancement program exist??
