-49,5db is as low the TP goes. At -50db it is totally silent.

Thanks Michael - good link. You can also buy pre-modded Oppo players -
this is exactly the same as the DVD region coding fiasco!

I did not buy either
I just lived for few weeks with Transporter connected directly to the
amp, thinking that this is the best option..
But then I switched to the preamp route (frankly, I have one), and
never went back.

Every 6db is 1bit, right?
In my setup I usually listen on -28db.

Transporter with its digital volume can't be used as a preamp, unless
you listen to a very high volume or you have a gain control on your
amplifier.
In my system, its volume is fixed on 100% (as well as in every review
of Transporter, e.g. Absolute Sound or Stereophile)

I'm drifting a bit away from my main question, but if I understand this
right I only need an attenuator when I don't want to use the volume
control too mu

Yes, SACD is an example. Or if a friend brings along his CD, I don't
want to rip it first before we can listen. Maybe I will still get rid of

Now my question: is it possible to easily select different imputs in a
