No, this only applies to unpopulated least-significant-bits (i.e. unused precision), not low-amplitude signals. Low-amplitude signals pose no problem for FLAC, but scaling them up would be a big problem. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62874 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
