There was a long thread a couple of years ago which concluded - I believe Sean confirmed it though I couldn't now swear to that - that reducing the volume of the SB's digital outputs below about 90 per cent also significantly degraded audio quality. It starts throwing other bits away, I seem to recall. See also the current "Transporter into amp or pre-amp" thread (TAS says that's what happens with the Transporter).
