So I have this modded Transporter, the Modwright Transporter (see pix on Trabsporter mods part 2 thread) that I'm beta-testing. It sounded a bit compressed and harsh going though my preamp (dig volume at full 0.0db). When I switched to playing it straight-to-amp the same fairly loud listening level was -25.5 to -26.5db!! (and sounded glorious) I gotta assume that the harshness i was hearing is that it overdrives my preamp? I have a call into Dan Wright and we'll work through it, but wondered what -26db would mean bit-wise, and what kind of resolution loss I'm getting playing redbook and 24/96 files. I may try going though my passive Bent TAP TVC preamp instead of the active Modwright pre (cuz straight-into-amp loses my ability to also have a sub crossed over into the signal path). Any comments? Thanks, Ted
