     The point of this project is to avoid purchasing
a Theta/Krell/Wadia/PS-Audio external processor. I
believe the NeXT has most of the hardware and the
kind people at Theta Digital Corp will be sending
me references for software.

     The point of a external processor is that it
makes digital audio sound better (ie, bearable).
Most oversampling techniques only optimize for
frequency response, but with their additional
computational power (ie, cost) external processors
also optimize time domain, group delay, and
transient ability. (There's more to audio than
just frequencies.)
