Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] DAC Resolution Test and Don't EVER use Digital Volume Control
Hi there, i have a problem. I crashed my new amp (creek). i just have a sb3 classic with a creek destiny. The destiny crashed after two hours. Then we tried it again with a diffent device (creek destiny) the new device crashed also. Now..The advice was to lower the output signal of my SB, because it seems that the SB analog output signal shoots some ugly signals out..that may harm the preamp-input of the creek destiny. HEre are my questions: 1) is this a value concern ? 2) the advice the hifi-shop was to lower the SB-output signal to let say 60-70%)..does this make sense. 3) i read carefully many of your statements...so ...does this advice lower the quality of my singal?...i ususally use FLAC...ripped from normal Audio-CDs 4) is the usage of a DAC a solution that circumvents the volume control of the SB...or may circumvent the problem oror ...does it i am confused please help...or is there a value manual of how the thins working inside the SB classic ? cheers johannes -- johannes johannes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10875 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

Or is it just not functioning correctly and needs to be powered down and restarted (as one might think of a computer crash)? Or does it mean something else? I've had a SB3 for several years and used a variety of amps and never had a problem. I know of no ugly signals - if the signal is truly distorted, then reducing volume is not a fix. It is possible the SB3 is bad. The solution there would be to try a different source with the amp (such as a CD player, tuner, etc.) and see if the issue repeats. Also, your issue has virtually nothing to do with this thread. I'd suggest you start a new one that is specific to your issue. hi, yes i know...but i read about your volume bit discussion and thought this could have an impact on my solution now...to lower the output power of my squeezebox may lowers the quality of my output signal...but i am maybe wrong.. anywhay i change the thread...fanx for your comment by the way...the amp was dead...- back to the supplier :-( johannes -- johannes johannes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10875 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
