Hey guys, I really don't want to muddy up this thread, but a quick question for the newbies like me that are reading "-18dbFS for 0dBVU seems all right" and thinking "-18dbFS... dbVU... what the HELL does that mean?!"

What kinds of things should I be searching for to learn about headroom, what headroom means in the digital domain, what the different units and abbreviations mean, and why I would ever want to calibrate my A/D converter?

Links, books, websites, any and all info is welcome.

And if people think it would be better for me to start an independent thread and delete this post, I'd be happy to. I just wouldn't have any clue what to call it!
