I think I follow what you're trying to say there, but it does not apply. The volume function is always 24 bits wide. It doesn't know or care whether the lower 8 bits are "used", and all 24 bits of output are meaningful regardless of the input word length. > Are you saying that even digital volume done on the SPDIF output (i.e. > replay gain) of a SB3 is effectively done on a 24bit word? That's exactly right, if you drop the word "effectively". There is no "effectively". It's precisely the same operation, not merely the same result. The _input signal_ in either case is precisely the same. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34892 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
