That just doesn't mean anything - it's not even wrong. Digital rounding errors from attenuation can only ever affect the last bit. But the last bit contributes at a level 144dB down from max output, and the noise level of the SB (or any component you might hook it to) is far higher than that. End of story. While digital attenuation has advantages and disadvantages relative to analogue, "bit perfection" or "loss of resolution" has absolutely nothing to do with it. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45736 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
