This could be dangerous for your speakers, amp, and wallet. Its not safe to trust the Touch (or any other computer controlled source) for volume limiting. If there is a bug (when?) in the Touch or other device, and it sends 100% volume to your amp and on to your speakers, it can damage the amp and/or speakers. Most worrisome, often when a SqueezeBox bug causes this, its sending noise to the output, not just loud music. The noise signal can cause damage at loudness levels that are acceptable for occasional music listening. There have been many discussions and threads on this topic in the audiophile section. I recommend you search there for recommended attenuators. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
