I thought analog attenuation reduced the signal and noise together, which would leave the ratio between the two the same, e.g. signal=10/noise=1 attenuated to signal=5/noise=.5 is still a ratio of 10 to 1 and the same SNR. Apologies if this is wrong or I misunderstood the noise you refer to that is added by the analog scenario. -- Skunk http://www.last.fm/user/TheSkunk/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48368 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
