Yes, but any DSP operation can result in overflow, and that has to be accounted for. I would call performing DSP operations without checking for overflow a design error. Sounds a bit funny to promote lack of that particular design error as a special feature. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Julf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98706 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
