Ah thats great... so i can really disable the analogue volume and make
the remote control the amp volume afer all.
Thats fantastic and exactly the way it should work!
Many thanks for pointing this one out. I will order these things now.

It's a bit confusing why I need to order hardware... I mean can't the
remote already send IR so what's this IR Blaster for? Eg for my TV
handset all I had to do was type the manufacturer codes into the the
remote hanset and then it sends the IR needed to the
yea i could get a universal remote and rely only on that.. i will have a
look at some and see what i think. just put off the idea after my friend
with one told me he spent £400 and it was covered in buttons and
gigantic.

thanks for explaining why don't they put that simple explanation on

i am assuming that through the digital ipod connector you can get access
to the digital output somehow.
Nope, there's no digital audio output on the iPod dock connector. There
is one company that will modify the iPod for digital out, voiding the
warranty on the iPod
thanks very much for confirming.. i saw all the comments about a cd
getting clipping and the wireless spdif not being as good as the cd
player spdif... but clearly this is imagination etc.
before i give up on the volume control issue: can i ask please: we know
that no cd player has a volume
has anyone connected the digital out of their squeezebox to the digital
in of their sound card and compared a wav file streamed by sb3 or the
transporter to the recording via the digital out? eg eac has a compare
two wav files feature and some hi end soundblaster cards have an
optical digital in.

if someone checked that a recording of the digital

It also allows direct connection between the unit and a power amp
without requiring a preamp/volume control for systems where budget is
an issue and/or where the listener wants to keep the system simple
(many feel that sounds best).
This is exactly how I'm going

but the real question is has anyone connected the digital out to a
soundcard and checked the reproduction is perfect as described in my
first post?
Yes, of course. It is a very easy test to do. An even easier test is to
play a non-PCM bitstream (ie a DTS track).

of course this assume the volume is turned to 100% (god only know why
we have a volume control in a transporter / sb3 anyway. it's as silly
as putting one on a cd player)
Given that almost everyone else likes and uses it, and that if you
don't want it you can

Some early versions of the firmware inverted the absolute phase of the
signal, which screwed up DTS decoding.
That was only a setting in the DAC - the digital signal has always been
correct.
