I also thought of another option. Since the full signal from the SB3 is plenty large enough for the amp, can't I buy some kind of passive pre-amp (attenuator?) to put in between the DAC and the amp? Then I could max the digital signal in the SB3. I just can't be sure whether the effects of digital volume control are worse than introducing another component, even if it is "passive". -- ezkcdude ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ezkcdude's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2545 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18863 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
