I have a question about the effect on audio quality of the squeezebox 3 digital volume control.
My system will consist of a SB3 -> DAC AH (a 16-bit non-oversampling DAC) -> Odyssey power amp. I'm not going to use a preamp, as I want the cleanest possible signal path and the SB will be the only source. I haven't bought the amp yet, and I have a choice to make - Klaus over at Odyssey Audio can either fit it with a passive volume control (for an additional $150 or so), or leave it as a pure power amp. So I'm wondering whether it's better to use the digital volume control on the SB and forgo the volume knob on the amp, or whether instead I should disable the digital volume on the SB and use the modified amp. All else being equal, I'd rather not have the volume control added to the amp, both for the extra $$ and because I prefer simplicity (not to mention there won't be a remote control, and I'm lazy!). Any suggestions? -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21617 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
