Well, I only cited one of the sources you posted that contradicted, what you said. However, thanks for the link about limiters.

For all of the complaining about the loudness war, it is interesting that people include limiters on their DSP chain. They either do nothing, or apply a form dynamic compression to the signal, as appropriate. If there is a clipped signal (which there really should not be with lossless files unless you are using other DSPs), I'd think that lowering the overall volume slightly would be the more audiophile-style approach to dealing with it. If you have a nice 24 bit soundcard, one might think that you could lower the volume quite a bit and the noise of the original recording (being only 16 bit at best when mastered to CD) should still be audible above the potential noise floor of your system.

Foobar does indeed sound better with DSP's such as ReSampler.

Anyone else tried Resampler?
