Hi,
you say the transporter increases bit depth prior to volume control?
So it is digital?
Right. So we've solved this one.
But...
How is this increase of bitdepth brought about?
With 16bit I can cover a range of 0 to 65535. Then I need to map this
range of numbers to volume levels between 0

Remember that a 24-bit sample has the same maximum loudness as a 16-bit
sample. Dynamic range is added at the bottom of the loudness scale.
That's why the extra 8 bits
I have just started troubleshooting this, but I can't input from the

RCA and BNC digital inputs work on the Transporter. BNC out works on
the Nova. Unfortunately, I don't have any other components with

To return to the OP's questions... nobody yet pointed out that
Tranporter has options for analog attenuation (after the DAC) too. The
switches are internal, so you need to remove the cover to get at them,
but recommended as a way to set the maximum output level and so get the
most dynamic range
ooops you are right!
Jeronimo - you want to get those attenuators set to your max listening
level. That will ensure you get the best from the digital volume
control.
In my experience, a well-implemented 24-bit level control (SB, TACT
etc) is better than an average analogue pot or even a
Yep, Inguz. I know of the attenuation options. Are you suggesting that
if one sets analogue attenuation the digital range we have talked about
a lot is somehow shifted down the volume range meaning that if I turn
the volume down on the transporter it uses more bits for finer
resolution?

Question:
I think you've summed it up nicely, Jeronimo!
Although with 24-bit you would have to reduce the volume a lot before
losing noticeable resolution.

OK, so it seems I finally got it. You say the attenuation doesn't work
for balanced outputs? But isn't the single ended i.e rca output just
one side of the balanced version? If that was the case I really can't
see why they shouldn't work for the whole analogue stage.

Just wanted to point out the obvious, which is often overlooked. When
talking about digital audio resolution, we talk in terms of bit DEPTH.
That's because the most signigicant bit always occupies the same
position, regardless of resolution. The best analogy is if one
