To combat this, Diretta employs its “Host-Target” model, where the Host sends data in a continuous, synchronized stream of small, evenly spaced packets. This “averages” the processing load on the Target device, stabilizing its current draw and minimizing the generation of this pernicious electrical noise.
So, this networking scheme produces less noise, revealing more fine details in the recording. And, if this segment is segregated from all of the non-audio activity buzzing around the wires/wifi where you live, you might be able to finally hear most of what the microphones captured.

I know, I know… how this rankles the bits-are-bits objectivists. For those who just can’t accept my blasphemy, I recommend that you take a few minutes to read this recent review in Positive Feedback by Dean Waters:
