Interesting.  Unfortunatly, that article mostly deals with normalizing
*analog* source material.  Most of the article is devoted to talk about
the noise floor.  In a pure digital system (i.e. S/PDIF) there is NO
noise floor (this is the advantage!)  However, he does go on to say:

And this is what I was trying to allude to with my initial statement. 
Again, though, this distortion is only half of the very least bit big. 
You'll never hear it; it's just a theoretical type thing.
