Thanks Ronnie.
Did you make those folding slides? Very nice, clear and fun!

I wonder where DSP SE speakers fit? They are often described as "renderers", as per your third slide. In that case given core decoded input they could do all the rest, maybe even including DAC compensation, except for authentication.

I am guessing authentication in this context means verified as genuine by the original artist and/or producer? That would have implications.
