There’s a great thread going on at the R-E-P Forum at ProSoundWeb.com killing dead, once and for all, the wretched notion that you need to slam as hot of a signal as possible into the A/D converters to “make use of all the bits”…

I’ve been saying it for years. One of the reasons digital sounds “harsh” to people is that they try to run everything too damn hot!
