Right. And precisely against Sean's advice. Sean has no vested interest here. He could hype the SB and tell you that you no longer need outside analog attenuation. But he doesn't do that. Why? Because there are technical reasons why: 1) you could have a failure and that would be a problem. Just because YOUR clients haven't experienced doesn't mean it is impossible, and 2) they've been using considerable DIGITAL attenuation with an older version of the software (the newer, as in this month version improves things), which means they have been degrading their signal. Great.
SD have recommended, over and over, that you lock the SB on max and use your line stage to control volume. Many or most audiophiles do exactly this. But, you're a vendor, a great new product is out, and you don't have an agenda and are being completely objective, right?

Simple and satisfying. In a larger room, I would move back to larger speakers, subs, and probably RCS. My larger speakers were, natch, Harbeth Monitor 40s with dual ACI Force subwoofers, a Bel Canto line stage (wonderful device) a Rane EQ system, and measurement gear including calibrated mics, a Presonus audio device, measurement software for the Mac, etc. It's nice being back to simple. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ highdudgeon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2195 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28080 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
