The Neko DAC has a 1V output, which is already about 6dB of attenuation, since most DACs are 2V or over. And it just so happens that the Rogues have a 1V input sensitivity. So I'm usually in the range of 60-80 on the SB volume control (-20 to -10 dB) for "serious" daytime listening. Unfortunately, Neko doesn't make this 1V version anymore. I do have some Roswell 10-dB attenuators (XLR), but I don't like their effect on the sound (too "smooth"). They also lower the input impedance of my amps to something like 10k Ohm. Well, any passive attenuation will do this, so you have to pay attention to the resistor values used. -- Daverz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Daverz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21643 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
