Basically, I was asking if <bad things> occured when the digital volume wasn't all the way to 40. uhhh... I think I should stick to using non-sense words when describing things I do not fully grok. It's only fair to make the extent of my ignorance obviously explicit. pfarrell Wrote: > > I bought my Classe years before I got my first > SqueezeBox.

If you had to do it from scratch.... would you (in a single source situation) bypass the pre-amp and go directly to amplification, using the digital volume control of the SB2 for attenuation.
You =would= skip the pre-amp. Good answer... that saves me money! Thanks pfarrell! y. -- Yannzola _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
