IIRC setting the preamp control to maximum attenuation will effect a partial shutdown of the DAC, lowering the noise level a bit below what you'd get otherwise get playing "all zeroes". This may be useful for some auto-sensing amplifiers which require a lower noise level to think that the source is "off". There was some discussion of this a while ago and I thought a feature request was entered (related to s/pdif shutoff request), but I can't find it now... -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22999 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
