Next, watch how to convert between analog and digital signals with the sampling theorem for bandlimited functions. Finally, learn about analog and digital filters and how filtering is useful in combination with oversampling to suppress the effect of rounding. As an illustration, listen to an audio example, with 3 bits per sample, and with 3 bits per sample, oversampling and filtering.
