There was some mention earlier of all bits not being equal... indeed not. It would seem in fact the best bits are not the MSB's, because they exhibit the most differential non-linearity (aka one form of digital distortion). So it would seem advisable to trade off some SNR for that distortion. After all we humans are highly tolerant of non-correlated broadband noise (Brahms/Band, hiss etc) and highly intolerant of any sort of "digital" (i.e. unnatural) distortion such as jitter or DNL. So maybe it is better to keep our peaks away from the MSB... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
