Thanks. I have two follow up questions: 1) In another thread, we've identified the regular volume settings of 40-100 as the "safe zone", that is, the region where volume attenuation results in loss of SNR, but no loss of information in the digital signal itself. What is the analogous "safe zone" on the preamp volume control, which has a total range of 0 to -63db? 2) What settings on preamp volume control will give identical attenuation to the settings of 90, 80, and 70 on the regular volume control? -- boybees ------------------------------------------------------------------------ boybees's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1153 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28884 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
