It wasn't "bad" PCM data as such, I didn't explain that well. My theory was that if there was an incorrect volume adjustment value stored, then when the volume adjustment was applied, you might get clipping in the signal, or even wrapping round of the values, like when you overflow an integer. So that data is valid, but the peaks have ended up as troughs. No idea how the algorithm in the SB would cope with a volume adjustment that caused out of range values. I use a Musical Fidelity X-Dac V3, usually very good sound, but it is susceptible to mains borne interference - sometimes dropping the Duet controller into its cradle will cause it to lose lock on the signal and go quiet for a moment. EDIT: I should add that I always used 100% volume on the digital output prior to hearing the problem. It did sound very much like clipping. -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50151 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
