5. How ERGO works
ERGO takes a stereo audio stream from the analog or digital (S/PDIF or FireWire input) domain and processes it
though a 96 kHz room correction algorithm. All incoming analog audio is sampled at 96 kHz, while incoming digital
audio is sample rate converted up to 96 kHz for processing. If incoming audio comes in over FireWire, the processed
audio is converted to reflect the output frequency of the ASIO driver, up to 96 kHz. In Digital Input mode, the output
frequency and the audio going to your monitors is going through digital to analog converters fixed at 96 kHz sample
rates.
ERGO’s architecture provides the best audio quality while maintaining compatibility with existing systems. In fact, the
audio converters used in ERGO are the same as those found in multi-thousand dollar audio workstation hardware.
