\subsection{A/D \& D/A Converters}
A/D and D/A converters are required for audio input and output.
\subsection{Samplerate}
The samplerate defines the frequency at which a measurement will be taken
from the input audio. This is significant due to the quantity of
information returned from the A/D converter for processing. Higher sample
rates generates more measurements per second and thus requires more values
to be computed per second.

The general requirements for digital audio processing systems, DSP
