Earlier Springer wrote "And to folly your sarcasm - YES - depending on what the AD converters can handle, things do sound different at different levels. I trust my ears to tell me this. I trust the reading I do from people like Bob Katz, etc.. on here that know what they are talking about. I just want to figure it out for this piece of equipment as I have done for other pieces that don't label or say in the manual."
Oh boy, sorry but all that you wrote above is wrong. I cannot decipher your english language when you say "handle." What do you mean to describe?
Bob Katz did not write that and either did the book you should read. It is called, "The Art of Digital Audio" by John Watkinson.
The converter is dumb and does not know the difference and it does not know how to make the sound different at different levels. The main think to adjust is the input level to your converter. Most converters allow you to adjust your input levels in relation to a known reference such as .775 volts= -18dBFS.
Perhaps what you mean above in your first posting is that you have adjusted 0VU to be -16 on your converter---is that correct? If so, it is a reasonable level and perfectly workable for 24 bit recording.
Please clarify what you are asking.
As far as the DSD levels on the 1000 are concerned, treat it conservatively just like
pcm recording. No need to jam the levels.
I'm sympathetic to your cause, but learn the proper terms of the discussion.
