It's propably worth explaining the differences between -0.00 and +0.00.

Floating point goes beyond db measured scale,perhaps is confusing for even computers sometimes?
.008 = 8 of 1000 possible values not 100. So saying .008 = hundredths is inaccurate, that's all. It doesn't matter what the underlying scale is since this is a percentage/fraction of that scale as-is. IOW, .001 of 1 dB = 1/1000th of a dB just like .001 seconds = 1 millisecond or 1/1000 of a second and of course "milli" = 1000.
