Can I make a plea to SlimDevices that they do NOT change the current balanced output level? It does what it's supposed to do - delivers a balanced signal at a level appropriate for professional balanced inputs. As it happens, in my system (which has balanced amps with an unusually high input sensitivity of 1V) I need about 12dB of passive attenuation, so reducing the output level would make my life a little bit easier (no passive attenuation required). But for those others using balanced amps with more common (lower) input sensitivities, reducing the output level would require the addition of active gain, and that is far, far more undesirable (because it will almost certainly degrade the sound quality) than my needing to use a bit of passive attenuation. The solution for Kiep is simple: either use the unbalanced outputs, or add some passive attenuation. -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31019 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
