Hello, I have a Squeezebox Classic. In the past, I was connecting it to my Sony STR-DA3100ES receiver via a Coaxial audio cable and everything was fine. I am now using the Coaxial audio cable for a different purpose so I purchased a good quality Optical audio cable (from Monoprice.com).
To achieve the same volume with the optical output as what I used to get with the coaxial output, I need to push the volume on the Squeezebox all the way to +100 whereas it used to be on +1 or +2 before with the coaxial cable. The gain on my receiver is usually around -25db. Is it something normal? I don't think there is anything wrong with the cable itself because once the volume on the Squeezebox is +100, I can hear music just fine. But at +50 for instance, I can barely hear anything. Where am I supposed to plug the optical cable on my receiver? I have 4 optical inputs on the back of the receiver: - SA-CA/CD OPTICAL IN - MD/DAT OPTICAL IN - TV/SAT OPTICAL IN - DVD OPTICAL IN (but my DVD player is already connected via DVD COAXIAL IN) Does that make any difference where I connect the Squeezebox? Thanks for your help! -- drumkid ------------------------------------------------------------------------ drumkid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4152 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50156 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
