Ehh, actually no! They are not totally separate things. The reason is that the Transporter has internal jumpers to set output signal attenuation. The recommendation is to set the jumpers so maximum volume won't damage your speakers. However, if more attenuation than "nothing" (0 dB) is choosen, output impedance will rise. Another problem with this approach is that CDs mastered to have large headroom (older, properly mastered, CDs and classical CDs) will be hard to crank up the volume on, since the modern hit album will have perhaps 10 dB higher volume. (So you have to set your jumpers according to the more aggressively mastered modern CD.) -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27158 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
