I like to use 1:1 transformers on the sending side. A larger voltage swing on your digital cable isn't a good thing. The 1:2 transformers can be useful on the receiving side to give a larger signal to the receiver chips. You should remember that 1:2 transformer reflect impedance with a 1:4 ratio, so you need to terminate the 1:2 transformer with 4 x 75 ohms = 300 ohms. Net: I like the 916-01 in the squeezebox and the 944-05 in the dac. ---Gary -- GaryB ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GaryB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3169 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19822 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
