You mean integrated amp, right? There's a big difference between an integrated amp -- it includes a preamp or line stage component -- and an amplifier (or power amplifier). Not to be a pest, but it seems like people on this forum confuse the two.
Anyway, yes: the commonly recommended method is to fix the digital volume control at the maximum setting, through Slim Server, and then use the line stage volume control. But, as patrick pointed out, you're safe in the range of 40-100. For kicks, I've listened to it lower than that and found very little, if any, discernable difference. In short, there is nothing to get anxious about. For peace of mind, just set it at max and use your volume control on another device for attenuation. dlite;148123 Wrote: > some education guy's why does the signal begin to deteriorate? > I assume for the highest quality you are best to disable the digital > volume control and use an external amp to boost/lower the signal? > > Michael -- highdudgeon Relax.
