can't hurt to do this, but the answer is not a function of using the RCA vs the Balanced Transporter outputs. Whatever problem one *thinks* using something other than non-fixed volume causes would be the same with either output. For me, I use the Transporter Balanced Outputs to my pre-amp. I've seen some analysis done regarding the squeezebox digital volume control, and can't recall the specifics, but certainly on 16/44.1 files, there is lots of headroom to make digital volume adjustments given that these files are streamed as 24 bit to the players from LMS. I recall that to be very conservative if you had the preamp/amp volume set such that normal listening you had the Transporter volume set to around 60 or 70%, you'd not be losing any of the signal. So I try to have my volume set so that I don't have to lower the digital volume control below 60% and mostly have it at 70% or above. *Home:* Pi4B-8GB/pCP7.x/4TB>LMS 8.1.x>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* rPi4B-4GB/pCP7.x/4TB>LMS 8.1.x>Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (Radio WIFI) *Office:* Win10(64)>foobar2000 *The Wild: *rPi3B+/pCP4.0/4TB>hifiberry Dac+Pro (LMS & Squeezelite) *Controllers:* iPhone11 & iPadAir3 (iPeng), CONTROLLER, Material Skin, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) *Files:* -Ripping-: dbpoweramp > FLAC; -Post-rip-: mp3tag, PerfectTunes, TuneFusion; -Streaming:- Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113986 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
