Ceejay: I'm curious how you know this. I'm not at all suggesting you're wrong, but I'd like to know how to determine this myself. If you look at all the manufacturer literature, they'd have you believe every one of them with a bypass mode is pure analog bypass. Yet the volume control always works in this mode, but most of these volume controls are encoders rather than potentiometers. I'm not fully versed in electronics but I don't know how an encoder could be used in a fully-analog circuit for volume control. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31497 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
