Yep, Inguz. I know of the attenuation options. Are you suggesting that if one sets analogue attenuation the digital range we have talked about a lot is somehow shifted down the volume range meaning that if I turn the volume down on the transporter it uses more bits for finer resolution?
But the attenuators are behind the dac... So they can not influence the resolution of the dac... Oh, well I am an idiot. Yep, one just sets analogue attenuation and keeps digital volume high thereby preserving the information in the samples. So let me summarize: - transporter upsamples from 16 to 24bit so to have about 48db headroom for digital volume management. - then I can attenuate the analogue output of the dac via the jumpers inside the tp so to have the tp have a digital volume set as high as possible. - Then I can have pure power amps who just amplify according to their power resources as much as possible without caring for volume management themselves. - and finally have an output that is neither blowing my speakers nor destroying my ear drums and is of resonably fine resolution. Well that sounds like a lot of tuning and some tricky bits for all in all it may be a reasonable concept. Please correct me if I am wrong or add info if possible. I want to be able to explain this stuff to my local hifi dealer... ;) Thanks for everything so far cheers Jeronimo -- jaysung ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jaysung's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12375 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39611 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
