The thing is: The Transporter was sold specifically for use without a preamp. In fact, it includes attenuation jumpers on the motherboard so that it can be configured for the proper output level of an amplifier it connects directly to. I quote the transporter manual, page 24, where this is encouraged: > > Analog Output Attenuation (For Qualified Personnel Only) > Transporter has a set of internal attenuators that can be used to > reduce the voltage level of the unbalanced analog outputs.

Perhaps the person who designed and wrote this no longer works there, but please don't deny your roots. :) -- chroma ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chroma's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22010 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67747
