You are correct, but I should point out that this is not the case for Transporter. Transporter's DAC chip has balanced outputs, and they are kept balanced all the way to the XLR connectors. The RCA outputs are created by combining the balanced signals. I used 3Vrms for the balanced outputs because it is somewhat of a de facto standard, although much higher voltages are sometimes used. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34811 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
