Huh? If the levels are maxed into the ADC then you are getting all the dynamic range of the LP, and then some. If the source medium is in a quiet passage then whatever resolution you're talking about (relative to its peak amplitude in THAT little section) was already lost when it was pressed. It is simply gone, and boosting the level or using a higher res ADC isn't going to bring it back. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82050 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
