Of course I don't want the receiver to move it back to digital, but since the volume control is everything but an analog unit I'm pretty sure all modern receivers do a ADA process to do volume, even in pure mode. I'm using straight mode by the way, as pure mode doesn't allow sub-filtering.
The differences I hear may as well be that the frequence response of either input device is a bit different, something that would get reflected through the ADA process too, as well as that the DACs in the Yamaha is good enough to show some difference even though I probably can't see all of it. But with the Transporter it is easy to test as it has a built in rudimentary volume control, so I have compared the Transporter with and without the Yamaha in the signalpath. The difference is incredibly small, almost non-detectable, much, much smaller than the difference between the Transporter and SB3. This is of course because my room and my other equipment probably is a much bigger problem than the tiny manipulation done by the Yamaha in my current setup. -- marsboer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marsboer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18417 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50394 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
