My question is this: What is the definition of dBFS?


Decibels relative to full scale.


Nonsense. All you've given is the meaning of the acronym, not an
engineering definition of the unit. This is similar to stating the
definition of RMS is "root mean square."


Question asked and answered. You've also had plenty of
