In Reply to: Small correction: 'soft clip' is at -6dB not +6dB (nt) posted by Frank.. on January 3, 2007 at 12:41:33:
HowdyNot that I hold the Wikipedia to be the best reference, it at least is widely available: "...Unlike CD, which sets the 0dB level right at the theoretical PCM signal limit, and doesn't take into account oversampling, SACD sets the 0 dB level at 6 dB below the theoretical full-scale DSD signal, and prohibits peaks above +3 dB..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Audio_CD
Also here's a post from Graemme in on a conversation you (and Christine) were a part of: http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/hirez/messages/182566.html
Both say something I should have been more explicit about, tho there is some head room, it's really just 3dB not 6dB as I implied because using the last 3dB is illegal according to the spec.
Graemme weighed in other times: http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/search.mpl?searchtext=db&author=Graemme&forum=hirez
