Thank you for this response. If I do get a Mytek it will be connected direct to Active ATC 100 speakers and will act as preamp. Have you tried your Mytek in 'preamp' mode? In this set up, I think there are 3 options for volume control- use the TP digital volume, Mytek digital, or Mytek analogue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iwalker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13004 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96457 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
