Cortes, I use the SB3's digital volume control and it works well. For a discussion of why - with red book - no resolution or dynamic range is lost digitally see: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39320 As for physical noise, I own an SB3 and a Krell integrated used in pre-bypass mode i.e. SB3 goes straight through to power amp stage. If I put my ears near the speakers the hiss from the power amp alone seems no different to when the SB3 is plugged in. So - in my rig - the physical noise floor of the SB3 is the least of my worries (regardless of attenuation). And the Transporter has a much lower physical noise floor than the SB3.
