Are you saying that the bit depth varies in relation to volume on the 828mkII?

Thats certainly news to me...

Such is the nature of digital. The output is still 24bit, but if the digital level signal is very low, then its might be peaking at a sample value of say +/- 5000 or so (out of a possible 8Million or so) - ie only 14bits are being usefully used.
