to close the final chapter of this saga I coverted my rca-rca cables to xlr-rca cables so that the dac1 can output via xlr, I can now use the inbuilt smc attenuators and have set them to 30db. This gives an acceptable listening level with server at 100%, Volloc on and the DAC1 on calibrated output ie no volume control. I always knew the volume control on the dac1 was degrading the sound so this is the last link in the chain.
I can switch to variable output from the dac1 for normal listening. Surprisingly enough, it does make a difference. So can recommend xlr-rca cables if you have that option. To all the nasty, bitter and twisted critics of my posts - I forgive you. I have regularly reset the Touch to the factory reset and built it back up to confirm that the improvements were actually improvements, the base Touch sound is very good, but a bit grainy which TT3.0 takes away. I have tried a wireless bridge and didn't notice any difference. I have owned an original Squeezebox and a SB3 and now the Touch. I'll save my story about Jim Guthrie for another time, suffice to say I enjoy listening to Pink Floyd. -- SBGK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SBGK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52003 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
