So if you want to go the direct to power amp route, you need an
external attenuator, and judicious use of the digital volume control-
knowing for serious listening the SB should be at full volume. SD staff
have suggested this one (fixed) before:

I followed that link, and they are reasonably priced.
A lot cheaper than buying an audiophile preamp or passive attenuator.
The goal is to have the level so loud that then the SqueezeBox is wide
open, it is just a little louder than you want, or better, a little
less loud than you ever want. That way you can run the SqueezeBox wide open.
With my Benchmark, I set its internal jumpers so the SqueezeBox can
always be set to 11.
(or really 40, but I think of it as 11)
