Why are people trying to prove Nyquist doesn't work when it's been shown by measurements that it does, even in ways that are difficult to understand? Perhaps that is the real issue, people can't believe it 🙂

Who is trying to do that? I have seen others try to restate my statements in an attempt to strawman me incorrect. (Yes, I used strawman as a verb).😀

I said at exactly 2x, the limit, the sampled stream of a sine cannot be reconstructed as a single amplitude and phase sine.
As sampling increases above 2x, the required sample size for a specific accuracy falls.

On the other hand if one knows there is only a single fixed sine and wants to determine what it is, that seems like the simplest case since the equation for a sine is defined in terms of three variables (A, omega, theta) and with perfect data three samples could suffice.

That's where the fun (and confusion) starts 😀. Two samples per period (slightly less than a period apart) are enough for the infinite sine, since the concept of phase doesn't exist (what would be the reference for phase?).
 
Back to DAC’s again I see.

I am sure this is what hell must be like. Caught in an interminable time warp recycling the same questions and the same answers.

I used to feel the same way during our monthly, quarterly and annual business review meetings when I worked for a large MNC.

A bunch of SVP’s grilling us unsuspecting grunts about minutia that was of no consequence and then announcing with a flourish that clearly we weren’t up to the job, before flying off to repeat the whole charade with the next business in the corporation.

This is the beauty about being an atheist. You know you will face none of this.

😀

You clearly had an expectation management issue. Were you expecting praises from a gang of SVP fat cats? Being always unhappy with the business results is on their job description, I have never seen one otherwise *)

Rest assured they had the same feeling when the CEO did their reviews.

*) Well, in the last 25 years. Good ol' times when we were all in the same boat are long over.

That's one heck of a driver to cover that range. Now humour me. speed of sound is approx 340m/s so 5us is 1.7cm. That's a lorra xmax and I wouldn't want to use those (although the purifi drivers are getting to that range)
