I have been playing with the -10,-20,-30db jumpers along with using the volume control on the Transporter. I can set my amp to 3/4 volume and trim the volume with Transporter with the jumpers set to -10db. It sounds good. I havent really noticed any sound differences.
I would not want to use the Transporter volume control for more than 10db or so, to avoid any significant loss of data. Its mostly a paranoia thing. I really havent noticed a sound difference from loss of signal due to the digital volume control. I tend to trust my Alps Blue Velvet pot over the Transporter volume control. Most of the volume adjustment occurs there. Something new that I tried that has been very satisfying is I now use my MSB dac for the sub amp. I run the digital coax from the Transporter to the dac and run the RCA's off the dac to the sub amp. - The bass is very good. If anything there is too much signal. I have to set the high pass at 30Hz and play with a 3-5db cut in the 50hz area. The nice thing is the digital out is controlled by the Transporter volume control, so from my chair I can control the volume to both amps with the Transporter volume control. I guess I wonder what other feel about using the jumpers - Thanks - Eric -- earwaxer Waxer Transporter Winsome labs mouse (modified) Maggie MMG's (modified) JPS Labs power cords Audioquest Granite speaker wire Silver Bullet interconnect HSU research sub ------------------------------------------------------------------------ earwaxer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32040 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68090 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
