Anyway, I really really don't think this is that important for reasons I've stated several times. No 24-bit ADC available today can put the noise floor of the recording below -120dB. In practice, the noise floor is going to be -100dB (at very best). All this theory stuff is getting in the way of the music, man. Let it be. :-) -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
