Yes but if no LFE it assumes LFE is summed with the main channels! Try two channel with an LFE configured to see if the -3db is eliminated. Just curious! Now that I think of it if only two channel what happens to the rears and center? I suppose the channels are all summed together in 48bit and adjusted to output the correct levels when converted to 24 bit.
