I always recommend to rip and convert a dts cd as a entire single file, then when it's converted to flac use the cuesheeet to split into tracks...
Fascinating and thank you!
Crazy format. I have tested out ripping as one file and it ends up in the same strange situation with what appears to be minor clipping. Yet the process seems good so perhaps it is not clipping after all and there was something weird with the earlier DTS rips. Or an issue with the foobar dts plugin (v0.6.8 - the latest) AND the one DVD Audio Extractor uses, which seems doubtful. I'll include the foobar Dynamic Range Meter results for context.
Edit: I suspect I MIGHT have found the issue. A ReplayGain analysis if the one large dts wav file states the peak at 1.021664. My guess is that everything above 1 is being chopped in the conversion to FLAC.
