I am not sure what you mean or how this refers to anything I have written. The audiophiles in here that are connecting the SB3 or TP directly to a poweramp (attenuation or not) are using the digital volume control as well. That is what you do if you eliminate a preamp, whether you are an audiophile or not. I use digital volume control on all secondary systems, but not on my primary audio one where I use a classic SB3->DAC->integrated amp configuration. In any case, I think you'd be surprised by how many audiophiles use digital volume control, and how skillfully they'd argue that it does not necessarily negatively affect audio quality. -- pablolie ...pablo Server: 3.3 GHz Intel E8600 Core 2 Duo Vista Ultimate 64 Sources: SB3 (4), SB Boom (2), Duet, Accuphase DP65v Amplification: Accuphase E306v Loudspeakers: Tuned and self-built Ceeroy 3 way Headphones: Grado SR-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55246 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
