Hi Raimund,

As I understand it, there would be roughly 1dB difference in the reference =
level depending if you measure at the transition point from -1dBFS to 0dBFS=
, or from 0dBFS to clipping.  As long as a set of measurement's are consist=
ent - as I'm sure yours are - to be this wouldn't be an issue.
