Otherwise, we'll risk electrocution when they > invent 64 bit DACs :-) The limiting factors are the output impedance of the converter, (which is a thermal noise source, no matter how good the DAC is) and the noise floor of the output opamps. Since most opamps can deliver much more than 2 Vpp, and pro levels are higher anyway, it makes sense to expand the range at that end. Ciao, -- FA O tu, che porte, correndo si ?
