May I add once more, if the quantisation noise of a 16 bit signal is at -96db and you have a DAC with noise of -120db, that "badness" inherent in the 16 bit signal utterly dominates the "tiny degree of worseness" because of the DAC bit shift. But we all agree on that I think? It depends how good the DAC is and how far you shift down whether fidelity is affected (ranging from very insignificantly to significantly). I reckon a TP can perform the same as the "squeeze...@100%" in that test after at least 3 bits shift downward. Will it perform better at full range? My guess would be yes but only insignificantly so, assuming a 16 bit signal. Good night all!
