The reasoning is that the AC3 signal would not be decoded properly by the surround receiver if it's not bit for bit. The same goes for HDCD signals being sent to an external DAC. If you use the digital volume control rather than leaving it at max, these signals can't be passed through, proving that the unattenuated signal must have been bit perfect (i.e. external processors behave the same as if you were listening to the disc itself, but only at full volume). Perhaps there are holes in this theory, but I belive people have also recorded the S/Pdif signal at max vol. and compared to the original file to further prove bit perfection. -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26052 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
