Thanks for the feedback and the link. Used to be an EE many years ago, and brain is getting befuddled these days, but surely any digital reduction of the sound will reduce quality.
By definition, reducing the volume by reducing the digital values will reduce the size of the largest sample - thereby reducing the dynamic range. To use a trite example, reducing the volume by 50% digitally will turn the 16 bit sample into a 15 bit sample. Even if the processing is done in 24 bits, and the volume reduction is small, the dynamic range has been reduced and the quality of the output diminshed. Do you happen to know whether it is possible to disable the didgital volume control or whether the SB leaves the datastream alone if it set at full volume?
