Re: Goodness, Gracious!

The peaking should not be of any relevance except for upsampling on playback. The analog filter at the end of the DAC should produce the correct inter-sample peaks assuming the op-amp or whatever is used in the filter has enough headroom to ensure it doesn't get clipped there.

Upsamplers have to make sure they leave enough digital headroom in the calculations so that a calculated point doesn't overflow since it is quite possible the new digital peak is larger than the previous full scale (this is only a problem with recordings that actually hit close to full scale in their sampled version which is generally the case with stuff downsampled/noise shaped from a master at a higher sample rate/bit depth)

I don't see where this is a problem from the mastering point of view - can you be more specific as to what the problem is?
