what current it is rated.

You got me worried for a while there! A phono input is normally
reserved for record players,and have RIAA correction and extra
amplification. A

Yes, you only maintain all the resolution of the original 16 bits by
using all 24 bits - so truncating to 20 will loose you some
information.

Seriously, though, there is an incredible amount of bickering,

instead, send stern messages to a newbie about

AFAIK each step corresponds to 0.5dB. So 90 is -5dB, 80 is -10dB and 70

You're correct, my bad.

Bernie, I hear yeah on this. Your simptoms sound similar to mine.
After a few days now the TP is running much better but I still get a

I'm currently working up to using the Inguz plugin for DRC, just need

No - it just gives you a slight reduction in the actual signal to noise

At no point did I mention distort - you invented that.
My point is simply that some systems can handle certain types of music
better than others. For example, Quad ESL 57's sound rather nice with a
bit of light choral...but they don't really make a great job of Led

Yes - providing the input signal is 16 bit audio and you don't go lower
than (IIRC) -35dB.
The bits don't have the same value that they had before you shifted
them!! Attenuate by 6db and you're then using only half of the system's
output range
Thanks for your time trying to help me understand this. I am sorry if
everyone else thinks this is clear, and I'm confusing the issue.

No, I'm not saying that! At 100, the digits will be passed through

a 24-bit input value some of the lower attentuation values will not end

If you have ripped a file (say FLAC) from a CD, and then stream it from
