If that DAC had a web interface to control the volume, the same caveat would exist- but more importantly the fact remains that it's a less than ideal implementation of DVC. Glitches/bursts are moot if you set the jumper correctly, or use a fixed attenuator on the SB, which will allow you to use the VC in its _upper ranges_, the ideal way. Are you afraid a couple resistors will harm the SQ more than reducing the SNR of the DAC significantly (if a lot of attenuation is required)? -- Skunk http://www.last.fm/user/TheSkunk/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55246 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
