Interesting. I think a few devices have implemented smart digital volume control that doesn't just shave bit depth. For example, the Oppo DVD players appear to do something more subtle. And one of the touted advances in Vista over XP was that volume control was no longer based on reducing bits. (Of course, the loss of easy direct digital untouched output is a drag.) -- nathan_h ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nathan_h's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22786 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60871 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
