There seems to be a lot of confusion here. Let me try to clear some of it up. 1) either TP or SB going directly into a power amp is dangerous if a max volume full-scale signal would be loud enough to damage amp, speakers, or ears. 2) even if the amp/speakers/ears would survive a max volume signal undamaged, running a digital volume control at very low settings reduces S/N and might audibly degrade the signal in extreme cases. 3) both of the above problems can be fixed with analog attenuation, either the jumpers on the TPs unbalanced outs, external attenuators, or a preamp. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55246 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
