Oliver, this is amazing!
When I was building DAC522, I felt constrained to using 11kHz samples
because of memory limitations, and even then only a few seconds of sampled
sound would fit. That’s one reason why I wrote the wavetable synthesizers,
since they only required a limited palette of samples.
Streaming sound was unthinkable at the time, so I was blown away by
A2Stream!
Doubling the sample rate of course doubles the bandwidth, but I was really
surprised by the great fidelity and the noise reduction. At first hearing,
I thought I was listening to the source sound, not the playback!
And to do this while managing network sample streaming and an animation is
a remarkable programming feat. You’ve set a new benchmark for 8-bit Apple
II sound!
Congratulations! I hope you’ve inspired others by showing what can be
accomplished with skill and vision.
