No please >96 dynamics on a recording would have me wearing adult diapers :D More than 20bits rarely if ever ? A -112dB signal gets trough my hifi ,but then its full volume and my ear against a speaker cone (then its down in the amp hiss too ) absolutely not in the listening position . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
