Personnel
gollark: Anyway, I guess it seems non-impossible given that the reference DFPWM thing doesn't really attempt to model human perception of audio whatsoever.
gollark: I see.
gollark: I guess the bottom one sounds less noisy, but I wasn't blind-testing so who knows.
gollark: You mean you can generate nicer-to-listen-to DFPWM output than the native converter? Weird.
gollark: I use ECNet for actual cryptographic stuff, or SPUDNET.
