The bits don't have the same value that they had before you shifted them!! Attenuate by 6db and you're then using only half of the system's output range - you're closer to the noise floor and you have only half of the available "steps". I don't know what it means to "slightly reduce" the SNR. The reduction is exactly equal to the amount of attenuation. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30916 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
