Converted track to 32bit Float and used a look ahead limiter with very subtle settings to deal with the digital overs. I'd be very interested to hear how others dealt with this. My main concern was clipping the Crookwood Transfer DAC.
I reduced the song by 6 dB (Bit transparent) -6.020599913279624 dB.
That's really interesting, I use the TC 6000 this way. In some algos, it shows a green light when the bit pattern is retained. I hadn't realized that some DAWs had some capacity for this.
i have a hunch that truncation distortion plays a role here. is dave collins on this forum? he knows for sure...
The whole point is to be able to adjust the level to feed the analog chain without an extra stage of truncation or dither.

Well, you have to be careful, because you'll now have a 17 bit signal, according to my bit meter.
