This is a general question, not specifically related to squeezebox. Lets assume we have a 24 bit DAC and use it to convert 16 bit CD audio data. In normal operation the 16 bit samples are placed in the 16 most significant bits of the 24 bit DAC input word. Now, lets assume that the 16 bit samples are right-shifted within the 24 bit DAC word. In the extreme case it can be shifted 8 bits to the right and still no bits are lost.
The output level of the DAC will be reduced as a result of the digital scaling, but other than that how will such scaling affect the final analog signal?
