I apologize if this has been answered before, but I've done a few searches in the archives and can't find the exact answer to my particular question.
This is the current setup for my SB3: Wireless Router -> SB3 -> Monarchy DIP -> Monarchy NM-24 DAC -> Adcom GFP-750 Pre-Amp -> Monarchy SM-70 Pro Monoblocks In my computer setup, I have a sound card with a digital out that goes to a DAC and then an integrated amp. When I use Foobar to play FLAC files, the volume slider in Foobar doesn't regulate volume at all because all Foobar is doing is passing the digital signal directly through to the DAC. I notice on the SB3, the volume controls do affect the gain of the signal, which means that the signal is being processed in the digital domain before being output through the rest of the digital chain. Is there a way to bypass this? I would rather not have the SB3 process the signal at all (including gain control). I've read in a few other posts that most people suggest turning the SB3 volume up to max and then using your pre-amp to control gain. This sounds like a good idea, but the signal is still being processed by the SB3 even if it's turned up to max. Any suggestions or explanations would be very helpful. Thanks. -- blakeh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ blakeh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37047 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
