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
