Actually this talk of FM is getting out of the domain of thread drift and into a hijack, which I don't like. the similarity is there though, that like 128K MP3s are good for the car or portable use, while the higher bitrate ones should be used on your good system. And I consider anything less than 128 unlistenable.
But how much of this is attributable to dynamic range compression rather than the data compression ? In analog recording, say on tape, you could go beyond 0 dB. It would create some distortion. On tape there would be some third harmonic, on vinyl it risks fast groove wear or even overcutting, which makes the master useless.
But with digital it has to be hard limited because you cannot exceed a certain, absolutely defined number. It has to be clipped like an overdriven amp. If not, in most cases it will make a terrible noise if over"modulated".
