The attenuation provided by jumper settings in the Transporter is there to protect your amp and speakers if you should choose 100 on the regular volume control. It is not intended as a "volume" control, since it isn't variable.
For volume control you have three choices: 1. Using the volume control in the Transporter (could bad because you turn down the music volume but not the noise). 2. Using passive volume control (variable attenuator aka "passive preamp"). 3. Using a normal active preamp either with a power amplifier or as part of an integrated amplifier. 2 or 3 are considered the way forward because when you turn the music volume down you are turning down the noise too (at least, the noise from the source). As for whether 2 or 3 is better, "it depends". (Some might say even 1 "depends" and might be acceptable, since 2 and 3 introduce their own problems - but it isn't recommended my Slim Devices anyway.)
