I don't want to rehash the same points over again, but I haven't seen
this subject covered yet (maybe I wasn't watching).
Digital audio always has such impressive distortion figures because
distortion is typically measured with a relatively large amplitude
signal. Because it is quantized, is there a problem that distortion
(and noise) increase for lower level signals? In some of the better
analog stuff (class A and to some degree quasi-A and FET) this effect
does not occur (though the noise floor is still there). Is this
significant or am I mixed up? The digital discs I have heard sound
good, but then I don't usually listen THAT critically.
