There was a bug some time ago, IIRC on the SB not the TP, that could result in a full-level white noise signal being sent out. If your speakers can't handle it, this could cause damage. AFAIK no-one suffered damage and it was fixed. But the TP has built-in attenuators, which you can select internally. You should use these to make sure that 0dB on the TP is the loudest you want it to play; your normal listening level will then be say -10dB, which you alter using the digital volume control. This system means that the TP spewing out noise at 0dB won't break your speakers, and also you are doing the least digital attenuation, to avoid its (alleged) negative effects. -- adamslim Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others SB+, EAR V20, Living Voice OBX-R2s plus some other stuff SB3, Charlize, Harbeth HL-P3ES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44164 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
