Good stuff.  That Benchmark link explaining digital fundamentals should be made a sticky link here somewhere.

Have you pursued any of these types of free online courses?  They represent a brave new world and make my internal optimist smile,  So many are interesting, yet the time investment remains a challenge.

Take the Harvard  edX CS50, you will not regret it.

I have taken a few, and then transferred the knowledge to classes at the local State college, where my boss helps with tuition.

More straight-dish on digital audio from the same fellow  - A Digital Media Primer For Geeks by Christopher "Monty" Montgomery and Xiph.org

Focus of the first half (16min) is analysis of the digital approach compared to analog and digital audio basics, second half is video specific.
