| You can't have a digital source that loud because the absolute highest
| amplitude you can store is 0dB.
My understanding of it is that "0dB" is actually "infinity - 0dB", where
"infinity" is the biggest number the recorder can handle (kinda like
MAXINT). If oo - 0dB on the CD is greater than oo - 0dB on the recorder,
then clipping can happen.
It is not supposed to happen, but it does appear to be happening. The ~90
other CDs I have copied with the same hardware sound fine. Analog playback
of the CD in question sounds fine. An analog recording of the CD sounds
fine. Clipping only happens when I make a digital copy of that particular
disc, and it happens with both Sony and Sharp recorders.
Go fig.
