Missed one thing squeezeboxes are always 24 bit , they pad on 8 empty bits at the lsb and up . So with CD material your are practically sliding down along the "bits" in the DAC . Actual truncation starts at fairly low volume . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
