More comments when I have more time, but iirc the digital volume control is only "bit perfect" when volume is reduced by less than 8 bits, or approx 32db. If you lower it further it truncates even 16 bit sources.
Documentation suggests both the transporter and the mytek achieve >20 bit accuracy, so it is simply not true to suggest the Mytek is "better" in any significant way, it is just "different", though different in a way you prefer. But I also think it's not fair to compare a DAC operating in full bit depth then regulated by an analogue attenuator against a DAC running with heavy digital attenuation. At the end of the day without a reference volume level that the guy in the mastering studio was aiming at, home audio is a guess. And given that no two CDs are mastered to the same reference, more so. -Transcoded from Matt's brain by Tapatalk- -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.
