>it's not clear whether audio outputs are fixed or variable On the rear panel to the left DA1 PRE has a button switch control. You can switch between Output level-Calibrated, Mute, Variable.

There are two analog outputs. I hope it does. > In my experience, if one wants to go with the external DAC, than it's worth exploring the possibility to delete the preamp. And (again in my experience :) )analog volume control beats passive attenuation in usability. It deletes the need for a preamp. DAC1 PRE has a analog volume control. -- eiret ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eiret's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11521 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42135 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
