This is impossible. As soon as you attenuate the signal, you lose low order bits. About one bit per 6dB. Even if you had 24 bits of signal (which is unlikely) when you turn it down by 12dB, you have no more than 22 bits of information. You can use a digital attenuator, or a voltage divider or goat cheese, the information is lost. _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
