I was hoping to bypass analog volume control altogether... relying instead on the SB2 digital volume control of the analog out via RCA. Of course, the trade off here involves dropped bits vs. the potential signal loss introduced by the adding volume controls in the signal path. 99% of what I'll be listening to are 16bit Flacs. Will the 24bit digital volume control give me any headroom before modifying the signal? Or is the signal modified (re-aliased?) as soon as the digital volume is no longer fixed at 40?
Basically, I'm wondering which is better (less sonically degrading) given the choice: adjusting the volume digitally or adding some sort of analog volume control into the stream? y. -- Yannzola _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
