Here's a rather newbie question that I've been thinking about for a bit.
Which of these is theoretically worse for the speakers and/or more likely to lead to amp clipping: A) Untouched "modern" rock/pop track with digital clipping being played back at 90dB average. The amplifier's volume is set to -25dB to achieve this SPL. B) The same rock/pop track but replay-gained down 10dB to avoid digital clipping. Now to get the same 90dB SPL as Scenario A, the amplifier's volume has to be at say, -10dB. Basically the question is does replay-gain (or any other form of turning digital level down) increase the likelihood of analog clipping? Thanks for any input. -- CFP Squeezebox 3 digital out > Panasonic SA-XR57 > Energy Veritas 2.4i ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CFP's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6915 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32131 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
