John wish you a happy birthday, even if it's Friday the 13th 😉

This is such absolute nonsense.
Yes, if you sit in a top notch anechoic chamber and let yourself acclimate for 20 minutes, you can hear as low (at 1kHz) as about 20 micro pascals (0 dB SPL) which is the threshold of hearing, and from there up to the threshold of pain.
BUT YOU CAN'T DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.
The INSTANTANEOUS dynamic range of human hearing (such as when we're listening to music, which is the only context that's germane to this discussion) is only around 60-70 dB, not 120 dB.

Then you wouldnt like my house either. Though it isnt like Gaudi, it is 'different' all right. I had many people... real-estate, contractors and strangers say it is very nice and unique but wouldnt necessarily be their taste or comfort zone. I had a real-estate appraiser spend a month and came back with zero. said he could not put a price on it... there was nothing comparable to it. Its all just an art project. But no need to be sorry about what one likes or doesnt like.

While looking that one up --- that isnt the point.... rather to avoid internal limiting of the dynamic range via digital processes --- noise and/or artifacts (distortion). Dont worry about it.... just like the removal of LP and CD produces lower over-all system distortion...... .... didnt get that either. Sorry.

Not necessarily so, Richard. I may not love Gaudi's style, but who's to say I wouldn't like yours? A little nuts may be just fine, I just don't like his style of a little nuts.
"Different" may be just fine if it reflects your state of mind. You never know until you experience it.
Stands to reason for me. Less between me and the source, good by default, less processing, less variables, should mean less source signal degradation.
I'll do you one better se --- L.D.Fielder (Dolby Labs) - AES Fellow on the subject of dynamic range requirements. From this and others, I can extract what I want for my HiRes goals.

John, my sincere wishes to you having a great birthday and celebration, and great other days.
My father is same age as you, and just as I enjoy and learn by discussions with him, I relish and learn by your wisdoms that you so selflessly share.
Sincerely, Dan.

The Ear's Protective Mechanisms
This damping mechanism is feedback system is root.
Ever notice how moments after loud transient such as hand clap, pistol shot, or various burst signals in otherwise fairly quiet setting that background sound is briefly quieter sounding?
Playing a music instrument gives a great pleasure (regardless of financial circumstances).
And some ‘unconventional’ ways to play music:

Yes, this is my experience too with miniDSP 2x4.
Headroom and where to look for problems when exceeding the limits, was the No.1 issue for me.
You may look at post #5, #9, #10 before the fix of the software plug-in bug and posts #24 to #30 after the fix applied by the minDSP devteam.

I started using it as a learning tool for practicing the DSP path and as a flexible workbench for loudspeaker modifications.
I am still with it after some years, using it as the core of my –always changing at the speaker side-audio system.

For a two channel system, I don’t think I need something more advanced
Which is the relationship btn bit depth and decimal place for double-precision signed arithmetic data?
I am looking forward to it
?
Any link Scott?
I find this correct. The high level stimulus raises the low level detectability threshold.
Environmental noise would too narrow the range by ~30dB.
Subtract another 20dB-30dB due to Tinnitus 😡 and what’s left? 😀
A good paper Richard, thank you.
Happy

Not to forget ... each track adding his hiss to the final mix (multi track recording/mixing)... losses of dynamic on the tape each time it is played or just with time, pre and post echos... non linearity in the response curve, woow and flutter...
