Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] DAC Resolution Test and Don't EVER use Digital Volume Control
I've had a chance to use the Touch's digital volume control with a variety of equipment over the last several months. The DACs used are a Cambridge Audio 840C and a Neko D100. (I'll try to post more on the Neko in another thread. It's a very interesting DAC for those wanting to feed an amp directly.) The amps, which are fed directly, are a BAT VK-250 solid state amp, a Bryston 3B-SST, and now a pair of Rogue M-150 tube monoblocks I've borrowed for a few days. The speakers are Vandersteen Quatros. In my opinion, the digital volume control is as transparent, if not more so, than my pre-amp volume control (a BAT 3ix tube pre-amp). Frankly, I find the statement that opened this thread to be absolute nonsense. I don't know where the don't use more than 10 dB of attenuation idea mentioned by some comes from, either. I assume the PIOOYA method. By the way, with the Neko connected to the Rogues but no music playing I can hear nothing with my ear right over a tweeter. Rather amazing for a tube amp. -- Daverz Daverz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77725 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter making strange noises
I've never heard mine. But I do use knob on occasion. Try using it a little and see if that helps. I know there was some buggy versions of firmware regarding it (pretty long ago now though) and I think I got my unit just after those were resolved. -- mswlogo Transporter/DuetController SPDIF Meridian G68 DSP6000, DSP5500HC, DSP5000 It's the speakers and room stupid.
