st2lemans, Ah that's interesting and makes sense. So reducing the loudness by half cuts 1.66 bits off the resolution. I knew there might be a problem with my calcualation- didn't know it's as big as that!
I see that now at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_bit_depth It looks like you know a lot about it. Can you confim that squeezebox works in the digital domain and then passes this through the DAC? What about my average computer sound card? Another question: From: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?ConnectToPowerAmp "the output line levels vary somewhat by type of connection and between devices. This is typical of source devices... This difference is one of the things the preamp controls" So how can the preamp control this? I thought the line in was pure analogue... If I play a 1kHz tone at half volume down the 'line in' how can it tell that this input uses a different maximum level from some other? That makes no sense to me- unless they mean the preamp has phono and cd inputs which are hardcoded differently. -- willyhoops ------------------------------------------------------------------------ willyhoops's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44546 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
