I'm very confused by this discussion. According to Sean the TP can resolve 21 bits, which means the last three are meaningless (and for the SB it's considerably worse). Rounding errors from digital attenuation can only ever affect the last bit. So what are we talking about? I think it's ordinary signal/noise logic, which applies equally well to analogue controls, that tells you not to turn down the volume too much. The digital stuff is a red herring. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38233 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
