Correction: make that -10db.
So, using -10db of internal analog attenuation, I wonder:
1. How much protection am I getting for my speakers? Enough not to
blow the system?
2. How much digital attenuation am I using...enough to get into
artefacting at low volumes?
I haven't played around that

I'm not sure if the attenuation circuit affects the digital volume?

It's not clear in the manual if TP analog att. is digital or not as it
is in the SB.
Could Sean enlighten us.
Also , if it is not digital is full volume setting unity gain?

Got my TP yesterday, I wont repeat whats been said, just affirm all the

were apparent in my system too (watt/puppies, jeff rowland)
I am very happy with the blind purchase, partially guided by the many
positive reviews in this forum.thanks guys.
I might even break even

It doesn't - you set the attenuation to get the digital volume control
working in the range from 0db to -30db (as high as possible) at your
normal listening levels.
Where you set it will depend on

The attenuation is via resistors on the analogue outputs - so it's
analogue. You also have the
Thanks Patrick,
I have disabled the digital vol. control, so it is at 100
I am using balanced outputs in the analouge so there is no att.
adjustment
possible, it is fixed at 0db.
I was wondering about the TP analouge volume setting if I use a
pre-amp.
Should I set it at max and use the pre-amp
I think I should rephrase my question.
I have disabled the digital attenuation.
According to SD this doesn't affect the volume control when listening
through the analouge outs. However is the volume control digital or
analouge at this point?

Volume attenuation in the Transporter is digital, happening before the
DAC. If you're running direct to a power amp, then you need some form
of analog attentuation for two reasons: 1) to protect your speakers in
case of some sort of failure (read Sean's posts on this) and 2) to
maintain your

Actually, I wasn't clear. The deal is that, without analog attenuation,
the thing is really, really, reall loud. So, you turn it way down, and
that gets you, possibly, into a area of degradation.
Now, if you set analog attenuation, you can keep the digital volume up
without blowing your ears
For a meter or half meter run of cable...it's silly to think XLR has any
particular advantage. Mind you, I use a lot of XLR gear...but that's
just because it happens to be balanced. (Like my Lavry, for instance).

Mine just arrived! I'm taking photos but they won't look as good as
WSLam's. Besides, they're of the same thing - I got the black unit
too.
Haven't connected up yet, but I will shortly. I fear the rest of my
system is not up to the task though.

...well, what can I say that hasn't already been said?
I was hesitant that I wouldn't hear a difference on my system, but I
can. I played some tracks I know very well and I could definitely hear
a difference. For some reason I'm especially sensitive in the high
frequency region, and I heard
Another silly observation, but it brought back memories - the manual is
spiral-bound. I did that for several summers back in high school. I'd
say an 8 mm spiral where a 6 mm would do. Very easy to bind, I could do
300 of those an hour. The person doing it was rushing - the ends are
barely
Answered my own question -- DUH. XLR is XLR and under a different
specification. The attenuaition thing is for RCA only. Good thing my
amp takes balanced or RCA.
Anyway, if anyone is curious, I set the attenuation to -30db. That's
too much. With the volume maxed out it's not exactly loud.

I see that you own the DCC2 SE, wondering if you can describe the
difference b/w it and the Transporter strictly as DAC/Volume control
center. BTW, some great gears U got!
