In theory you could lower the volume by 24db/4bit without loosing data, but that makes no sense :) Never heard about a 6dB de-emphasis issue!? De-emphasis is applied like an equalizer to the highs. Sometimes when lowering the highs with de-emphasis the overall level of the file gets lower, so you can amplify some dB. -- Wombat Transporter -> RG142 -> Avantgarde based monoblocks -> Sommer SPK240 -> self-made speakers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wombat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4113 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82970 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
