Stepped attenuator? No, the solution is to use the digital volume control with the attenuator providing the safety required to not blow your speakers. If you are so concerned with losing quality with the digital volume control, perhaps you should try it to see if you can detect a difference. Admittedly, it would be difficult to seamlessly switch between, say, 80% digital volume with attenuation and 100% digital volume without (assuming that these created the same volume, as I haven't done the math). I would be surprised if one could tell the difference in a blind test, as Slim's implementation of digital volume control in the 24-bit domain is a very good implementation indeed. -- jeffmeh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jeffmeh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3986 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55246 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
