I am thinking to get an HK reveriver 3390 or 3490. The 3490 has digital inputs and the DAC in it is "an AKM, AK-4384 DAC which offers a 24 bit 192Khz setup design. It has a Cirrus Logic CS 48560 DSP". If the server automatically down-sample files then there is no point to get the 3490 with digital inputs? I am not an audiophile at all. Just trying to make an informed decision and learn something :-) Another question. Some say all amplifiers will colorize the "raw source" so it is always better to use line level. Others say if one keeps the headphone jack volume (like on SB radio) at about 2/3, there is actually no distortion or noise introduced. Who is right? I am thinking if, as some said, the raw signal is a steady signal at 1-1.5 volts, does that mean at certain volume level (maybe 2/3 or whatever) the internal amplifier is in fact not working therefore no distortion/colorization/noise is let into the external amp of a receiver? Or the internal amplifier is working but introduce no more noise than the line-level at steady 1-1.5 volt? -- verycd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ verycd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49940 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88769 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
