It's not just that I like it better - it's also that it's 'correct' to maintain the accuracy of the original digital data - in a similar way as it's 'correct' not to sample rate convert 44.1KHz audio to 48KHz (as some other manufacturers do). Even if you don't understand it and won't take my word for it, the difference between the 'rounded' volume multipliers and the unrounded volume multipliers is so slight that it cannot possibly have a negative effect! -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17269 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
