No - you are making this FAR more complicated than it is. Forget about decibels! All you do is set the jumpers so that when transporter is playing at full volume, you are at the maximum listening level you'd want to use. If you are already using a preamp, or if your amplifier has gain controls, then you should use those controls and don't touch the jumpers. What you are trying to avoid is a situation where you are at your maximum listening level with the volume bar only half way up. This is what might happen if you connected transporter directly to an amp. That's when you need to change the jumpers. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30916 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
