It's not really "adding zeroes" but just putting a 16-bit number in the 24-bit slot that s/pdif provides. At less than full volume, the additional bits are used to _maintain_ the resolution of the original signal, but you can't effectively _increase_ it. If you want to ensure 16-bit passthrough with the additional bits being zeroes, choose "fixed digital volume" in player settings. Again, there is no way to "increase bit depth" - you can't recover information that isn't there. Also, whatever processor you want to use should not have a problem with a 24-bit input. If it doesn't know how to deal with 24-bit then it will only look at 16 of them. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25907 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
