I run my Transporter with no attenuation into my BK amp.
BK @ 200wpc at full digital volume does not stress my speakers.
I normally present my audio at about -7db of full.
Appropriate listening room with proper equip cooling = great sound!
So...it depends on the system.

I found out the input impedance to the amp is 7.8k on balanced inputs,
which sounds like it's really low. Not sure what that means in terms
of my ability to hook up directly. If I understand, the Transporter is
100. I have no idea how to chose resister values (R1 R2) to get to a
fixed

The safe way is to start with maximal attenuation using the internal
jumpers (-30dB), and work your way towards 0 dB only as needed. Since
the internal jumpers _electrically_ limit the amplitude that
Transporter can output, they are safer than using the software volume
control, or even a preamp

Note that thomsens says he has active speakers with XLR inputs.

don't affect the balanced outputs.

You don't need to know the sensitivity, but you do need to know the
input impedance.

Yes. It's actually a set of Linn Artikulat 350As speakers. One
balanced input.

Looks like UPS is at the door with my transporter now!

The most elegant solution would be to get a fixed in-line balanced
attenuator.
Or you can use the internal RCA output attenuators and a RCA-XLR
adapter on the speaker side. The adapter just ties one side of the
balanced input to ground. You don't get the benefit of a balanced
connection but

Ok - but if I was to skip the attenuator approach, the issue would be
that I'd have to keep the digital volume too low on the Transporter
which would significantly impact sound quality, right?Is the other
issue the fear that somehow it comes on at full volume?
I've just bought a Transporter and a set of active speakers that accept
an XLR analog input. I'd like to start my system with the Transporter
going directly into the speaker since I never use any other sources
than the SB now and know the lack of other sources will not bother me.

I'm really interested to hear of further developments as I'm considering
a setup (when I get a TR or SB+ or SB3+DAC) which will go into the power
amp. I did this with my modified CD player which had external power
supply and volume control added.
