Interesting question and reflection. Maybe the digital volumecontrol stuff is a red herring. >From an amateur audio filosopher point of veiw there was meaningful to mention that it is measurable mathematically, an decrease in audio quality when using digital volumecontrol. Even though you cant hear it. Thats how i express it after reading the guide linked in an earlier post. There are peaple that prefer analog volumecontrol and those who dont. The same with proffessinoal audio producers(both analog and digital). If the transporter have digital volumecontrol ? Maybe it is bechause the digital is good enouhg ? It would be fine to have a final conclusion : Does digital volumecontrol resoult in decrease in audioquality ? Is it just measurable mathematically ? -- eiret ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eiret's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11521 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38233 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
