But if all you need is passive volume control, you can get a pretty powerful amp with the volume control, and lose nothing (as I keep harping on about). It's hard for me to see a better deal than that. If you want a really cool running amp, then one of the class d amps I pointed out would be great. If you don't you can go even cheaper and get something along these lines. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CZ0RL0/ref=asc_df_B000CZ0RL01914475?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B000CZ0RL0 -- totoro sb touch -> classdaudio sds-450 -> audio physic tempo 4 + rel storm 3 & rythmik f12se ------------------------------------------------------------------------ totoro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93776 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
