The problem is that at a 'unity gain' setting, you are likely to have both attenuation and gain being applied! The gain is normally an active, fixed gain stage, and the attenuation a variable passive stage.
So once you put a preamp in the chain, the only thing you can actually change is the passive attenuation bit. -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34140 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
