Funny huh....this is really true of a lot of digital devices. Headroom can be 
incredibly important to get the best sound.

It's a device to device thing though. For instance, the Kurzweil K-2000/2500 
series really have a dramatic improvement in sound when you crank up the 
headroom. Same with the Roland JV/XV series.

But the Roland S-760/770 samplers and some other devices sound really good no 
matter what the headroom is. As a general digital rule though, almost 
everything sounds fuller when your levels are set to "audible distortion 
minus one". Of course, there are exceptions and you should always leave the 
final decision up to your ears and your own taste.

Best,
