Re: For the believers and SoundBlaster haters

Randy,

PS: Ethan, I measured your clip with Matlab

If you're talking about the file in my Dither test article, I just compared that to yours (nice Hadyn cello!) and the difference at the "normal" parts of each is about 25 dB!

Again, the point is not if you can hear truncation artifacts after turning up the volume louder than you'd be able to stand for the rest of the music. It's relevant only if you can hear it with the volume control set to not blow out your speakers and ear drums. I like to listen loud! And loud is fine for this test. But if you have to increase the volume even louder still on a quiet part, then any artifacts are irrelevant.
