You do know that dynamic range and MAXIMUM SNR end up being the same ;-)

Understood.  But, Martin is arguing that my definition of dynamic range is
wrong, and I know it isn't.  Kind of like "resolution" of a monitor.  It is
an incorrectly used term, but as you say, everyone uses it, and understands
what it means...though they may not understand it's misused, and that 1024 x
768 is NOT a resolution.

Regards,

Austin
