I can understand that there is a "PreAmp Analog Level" to match your amp
or Preamp in the SB2/3. But can this be controlled via the Remote
Control? Or are folks using SlimServer or something to "adjust" it.
If SB3/2 does have an analog preamp section then yes I agree the less
"Preamps" the better

Okay, after researching this a bit, I think I will have to go with the
Musical Fidelity X-DAC v8. It is more flexible over all, and should do
okay with the SB3. It does have jitter reduction, which helps, and the
tube output buffer option is just too sweet to pass up. I guess I will
just have t

Skunk: not a bad idea, maybe I'll give that a go.
mswlogo: I DO understand what the pre-power jumper is for and where it
fits into the signal chain. Honest.
I think you'll find, though, that the SB3's volume control works in the
digital domain, attenuating the signal by varying amounts by multip

After using the digital volume control to find the level of at
At least on the receivers I've had, the "LFE" input of the 5.1 input
section had already gone through the bass management of the external
decoder - therefore the receiver did not apply any processing to it.
In this respect it's not really only LFE, it's any downmixed bass from
the other channels
The .1 is a bass channel, but it's not quite the same thing as a
subwoofer channel. It's band limited but also has a 6dB gain difference
from the main channels, so it can carry higher levels without
saturating.
The AV amp, however, doesn't just route this channel straight to the
sub - instead it
None of the two Denon receivers I had or my current Marantz receiver
does - otherwise, what is the point of the ".1" or LFE input?
