This "white noise" issue has occurred so infrequently, I'm wondering if it is an established fact that the SB3's Preamp Volume Control will indeed limit the noise level if this problem occurs? If so, then one can assume that setting the Preamp Volume Control at a level so that when the SB3's "digital" volume is at full blast, the output from the SB3 to the power amplifier drives the speakers at a tolerable level. Of course this will also lower the effective signal to noise ratio of both the SB3 and the power amplifier. Enough to matter? Who knows? Like I said, mine's still wrapped up under the tree. -- jonheal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19309 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
