<x-tad-smaller>Right now we are doing the volume in the CPU, for both s/pdif and DAC
outputs. The DAC also has volume control capability but we're not using
it at the moment.
Since the DAC is 24 bits, no resolution is lost (assuming 16-bit PCM
source) except at the ultra-low volume levels.
If you have a preamp then it's really ideal - set the preamp to the max
listening level you'd want to use, and then you can use the volume
control in Squeezebox.
