In previous discussions I was told that with the Touch anything above 40 with 16 bit source has no rounding errors.
But with 24 bit source any volume reduction will have rounding errors. The DAC2 has HGC i.e. volume is analogue for analogue inputs but digitial for digital. The DAC2 also has digital head room so I think there's no benefit to attenuating beforehand. So I'd just run the Touch at 100% and use the DAC2 volume control, that way I don't need to worry about 16 bit vs 24 bit source files. Check it, add to it! http://www.dr.loudness-war.info/ SB Touch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ darrenyeats's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10799 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111714 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
