You know that won't work? Once the signal has been lost by idiots in the mastering and recording stages, it's.. gone. Ie, assuming a 16bit value (because I have no clue what 2^23rd is, and cd's are 16bits...), the cd is just a series of ranges between -32768 and +32767. If the digital signal is clipped, that means instead of having nice "occasional" spikes to either end, you have flatlines. There is no way to remove those flatlines -- even turning down the volume in the digital domain won't allow "some" of those samples to stay at an extreme -- they will still be flatlined, just not as loud. The data is gone forever and nothing you do will get it back. Think of it this way: if someone totally overdrives a tape and makes it sound like poop... you can't get that dynamic range back either. The dynamics are gone. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78964 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
