That's basically it, with the further point I just thought of: adding passive attenuation would be a bad idea unless the source Z in low. Really it looks like 100Ω is the way to go - since nobody's rooting for 1K, I'm going to change it. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27445 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
