Point 1: Nobody has ever suggested that the SB's digital volume control should be used for basic gain staging. Your experiment yields results which are not relevant in day-to-day operation.
Point 2: How can you be sure that the change in "focus" isn't due to the fact that you're operating the analogue preamp at a different gain? All active preamps have slightly varying noise and distortion as you adjust their gain. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38233 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
