Have fun experimenting though.
re the digital volume: for normal listening sessions I control my volume via the SB digital volume for ease of use (which is implemented very well by the way, because of the way SB is using information in the 24 bit stream for volume adjustment, so for 16 bit music there is essentially room for adjustment without loss of bits**). I just keep the digital volume at 75 or higher. Too low on the digital volume can certainly affect SQ. But as noted, for serious listening sessions one should set the SB player volume to 100% and then do all adjustments via the preamp volume. **, for example see http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?85691-Volume-ReplayGain-amp-Crossfade-effect-on-sound-quality&p=611510&viewfull=1#post611510 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97483 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
