Interesting, Phil. My clearest option is SB3 variable digital out > Beresford DAC fixed out > Quad 405-2 Power Amp > Speakers. I don't do it that way because I need to feed the DAC with signals from a Virgin Cable Box and a TV. Neither has a variable output so I have to use the analogue volume control on the end of the Beresford DAC. But the shortest signal path with only a digital volume control yealds the best results. (When my Quad 405-2 was refurbished I had the input sensitivity lowered so I listen in that mode with the SB3 at about 80% or louder (20% attenuation or less)) -- Labarum Brian Squeezebox 3 Classic and Virgin Cable Box Beresford DAC TC-7510 MK6/4 - Quad 405-2 refurbished by 405man Quart 980s German Tower Loudspeakers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Labarum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19963 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58679 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
