Question: To what is your Transporter connected

- Preamp
- Poweramp


Running my TP into Rotel RB-06 power amp, 20db analogue attenuation
means that -10db on the digital volume control gives a sensible
listening volume with headroom for more.

 @cliveb: how far are you able to turn down the volume via SC before
 experiencing noticeable degradation?
There's no discernable degradation in sound quality at any volume
setting on the TP. But the change in loudness pretty much overwhelms
most other audible measures of sound quality, so that's probably to be
expected. I can certainly say that there is no audible quantisation
noise at any volume setting.

Were I to remove the 13dB passive attenuators and compensate by
reducing the volume, there may very well be a noticable difference, but
doing a proper level-matched blind comparison of those two setups is
next to impossible, so I've never attempted it.
