Hi Bob,

Possibly, and possibly not.  That could merely be an upper limit to data
that it uses.  I know the Piezo driver stops at 720, so if you send it data
beyond that, it simply doesn't take advantage of it.  That doesn't mean it
resamples and then dithers, it could just be inherent in the dither
algorithm.

Regards,

Austin
