Yeah. smile And as I've said, that first test was really absolutely worse case, and I couldn't tell the difference.

Did you check out the second set of tracks? (You might like the music too.) I'm glad that I had the option for 8- and 12-bit output, or I would have never believed that the dithering software I was using was even doing anything (actually, I can see it doing something on the VU meter at the higher depths, but I can't hear it).
