Yea but is it ? that would be something for audiorags to actually test ? there are actually some old AES pappers on it on the net it was done some decade ago . they scoped up some consumer devices to test that showed this problem ,given that many brands uses the same chips as any one else , we really have just a few of them so the problems was widespread then ? So yes I think its safe to assume it's a real problem . Given that benchmark has it as a selling point in 2015 I wonder how often it's accounted for in the competition ? New test for audiomagazines overload the filter :) (I saw some hydrogen audio tread where some dude had managed to get such peaks at +11dB ) You can always turn the argument around why . It's actually the recordings that are broken ? But imho stuff should have healthy headroom . Just like a preamp should not collapse at 1.0-2.0 volts (yes they exist ) some robustness against the digital version this is proper design ,again imo -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
