Yes, but it will be an incorrect approximation, because the data itself is "wrong" (as in clipped - limited to 0 dBFS instead of whatever higher value the original sound wave data contained). > In which case why do we hear clipping at all? Because the reconstruction will not match the original wave - but the reconstruction will cause the analog signal peak value to go above 0 dBFS. > Is it that a reconstructed output above 0db is sent to an amplification > stage that exceeds the amp's stated capacity, overloads it, and causes > subsequent clipping at that point ? That is unlikely to happen with an analog amp, as an analog amp should have at least some headroom. Might be an issue if the signal is re-digitized. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Julf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98180 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
