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?

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.

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?

I have no idea what you
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).

I need to use an adaptor plug (xlr to rca ) because
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.
