Someone said the world is flat too......?

It's not hard this - the SB3 has a 24-bit processing path; Redbook uses 
16 bits, so you can reduce volume by 8 bits before losing any resolution.

e.g. The original signal is:

        1111111111111111

The Squeezebox uses this:

        111111111111111100000000

So, you can reduce the level of the signal by 8 bits before resolution 
starts dropping off the end:

        000000001111111111111111

If my brain was in gear I'd do the dB calculation - it's on these forums 
somewhere.

Huh? What does that mean? "I thought/hear a reduction..." ?
