Errrrm, I do feel a little daft joining in this conversation about attenutation and dB and 0dBu's as I have not got the faintest idea what you rather technical people are all talking about, but would like to learn a little if possible...
The Preamp Volume Control is default Zero, which means full volume..... approx. 2Vrms? - (normal CD o/p) I guess attenuation has something to do with adjusting the signal level which in this case equates to the volume. The range 0.0 to 63.0 - So the setting 0.0 being approx. 2Vrms and 63db being 0V, if I had a power amp that likes 0.8V, a setting closer to the 63.0 than the 0.0, would please the power amp...? So, the firmware lets SB2 know what these settings mean, or does the firmware help with SNR? If you do understand how I am thinking, and what I would like to understand in the simplest form, I would love to hear nice simplistic explanations if possible, thanks for your patience. -- Deaf Cat _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
