http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/DIY_passive_attenuation http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Digital_Volume_Control_and_SNR The gist of is passive attenuators ( 2(4) resistor per ch does not impact sound-quality, quite the opposite by providing correct gain scaling for the system) This improves SNR and protects amp from overloading by . 1. You playing music full tillt by mistake . 2. A very rare bug (or future bug) that do exist, that makes ip3k players output horrible noise at full volume, I had it in my SB3 once in 4 years, several people have reported it in in the TP, this extremely rare and has eluded all attempts to reproduce (xilink rest is probably proper or factory rest) . Better gain scaling and SNR, the passive attenuation should be so that 100% volume on the squeezebox plays your quite records just as loud as you ever want to hear them . -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE for the rear ch.
