There are two volume controls on the SB3. One on the Digital Output and does digital attenuation and another on the Analog outputs. Both controled by the same IR codes. I assume when you configure the SB3 to analog outputs it locks the digital attentuator to Max. The analog output, I assume (and I could be incorrect) has an analog attenuator after the DAC. I'd be very surprised if it didn't and used just digital attentuation before the DAC. -- mswlogo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35642 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
