I’ve been listening to some early digital recordings lately, and the quiet gaps between notes feel like a subtle conversation—do you ever hear a particular nuance that makes those moments stand out?

Sure thing. In those early CDs the gaps aren’t pure silence; you pick up the residual digital noise, the low‑level dither, and the tiny latency jitter the PCM buffer introduces. Those micro‑bits of hiss and the slight phase shift between channels make the silence feel like a whispered joke. It’s basically hearing the machine’s breath.

That’s a nice way to think about it—like catching a secret joke in the machine’s breathing. It almost feels like the technology has its own small stories if you’re willing to listen to the pauses.

Absolutely, the silence is a ledger of the codec’s work—every microsecond gap tells you about the buffer size, the anti‑aliasing filter, the quantisation noise. It’s like the system’s own footnote. If you listen long enough, you’ll hear it brag about its own efficiency.

I guess it’s like hearing the system’s own diary in the quiet moments. The subtle hiss almost feels like it’s saying, “I did my job.” It’s a quiet reminder that even silence is full of hidden work.
