Yes.

Like I said before for most systems that do DPCM (and certainly the ones
Liam's been working on) there's a DSP in place which rewrites all the
data between the front end and the back end so the constraints of the
CODEC aren't visible to the application layer.

Usually there's nothing "CODEC" visible at the front end for these
systems.

Well, BE and CODEC but probably.
