Don't quote me on this because its a pure guess but I think the whole 11 thing might go back to Marshall amps and Spinal Tap.
Too bad, I just quoted you on that.

Well yes, of course it is, that's why I said I went out for a bite and when I came back it was still sustaining!

Going to 11 is cool, but the display should also go to 11. I mean it's always good to be able to go one louder, but they make it look like you can go 29 louder when it's actually just pegged at 11.

Haven't tried fast forwarding, but that's always sucked from the get go with digital audio. I am impressed that my Denon DVD player plays a 44.1 CD at twice the sampling rate so you can get chipmunk speed at 2x fast forward. Kinda cool. But once you go beyond that you just get blips and burps and have to guesstimate where you are.
