Does the power amp (without volume control) have an input level adjust? If not I'd suggest using a passive volume control. This could be as simple as a (switchable) attenuator.
The reason for this is that if there is no attenuation between the sb and the power amp you risk blowing your speakers if a user, software or hardware error causes a full volume output from the DAC. The cheap / simple and most likely very close to best audio quality solution would be to make up an rca lead with an attenuator in the poweramp end. The attenuation should be set such that maximum sb volume results in the highest level you ever want to listen at (which should be within the power handling abilities of the amp+speakers). -- bludragon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bludragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1530 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21617 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
