Hi Sean. Is the info in that first link too vast to cut & paste here (to save everyone interested in this topic registering)?
Where I use squeezeboxes, I have my maximum volume set by pre/integrated amps, and I then use the squeezeboxes to adjust the volume down, and while I expected a reduced SNR, I thought this would be insignificant, as I was reducing the volume at the same time (maybe it's still significant, but I've never noticed it). I can see this would not be the same if you were already lowering the volume on the squeezebox to get to your maximum volume setting, where the reduced SNR would be more noticeable (eg, with the Entech DAC & no preamp). I assume the details of losing dynamic range by digitally reducing the volume is in the link you posted, so I shall go study. -- Triggaaar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triggaaar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1417 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30916 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
