This was the original situation and the sound was good. However, following advice from a friend, I did a comparison by eliminating the G02 and connecting the dac directly to the power-amp. I was surprised that the sound was noticeably better (to me). Probably not because the G02 is a bad pre-amplifier (on the contrary, I think) but probably because the G02 adds a certain flavour to the sound of the dac in such a way that without the G02 I like the sound more. So therefore I want to keep the Transporter --> dac --> G57 but also my G06 --> G02 --> G57, which was the reason for this thread (getting advice for the best way to attenuate the signal of the dac). -- Fxdwg123 Synology 209+II --> Transporter --> Audio-GD Ref7 DAC --> Meridian G57 --> Wilson Audio WP7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fxdwg123's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37207 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76659 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
