A little digital attenuation might not be a bad thing these days, with the current trend of recording so close to the 0dbfs level (sometimes even exceeding it).
I'm also told that hardware implementations (including recent upsampling dacs) that natively widen an input S/PDIF signal to 24-bit during the resampling/upsampling process, don't pass the same 24-bit input signal that was input - but instead will alter the bits. So send a 24-bit S/PDIF signal (from say an SB3) into such a device, and those 24-bits that went in will not be the same 24-bits that will eventually hit the DAC anyway. What the effect of this might be (if any), was never explained. -- NewBuyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NewBuyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7862 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38233 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
